      On contract assignment to the Technology, Planning, and Integration for Observation (TPIO) office in the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Use and develop analytic methods and tools to provide focused information, reports, and analysis. Designed and developed (HTML and JavaScript) the public-facing NOAA Observing System Navigator viewing of the observing systems NOAA deems critical to its mission.Developed (HTML, jQuery, and JavaScript) the office-internal EORES Data Analysis Tool to fill a gap in analytical capabilities. The tool also incorporated legacy tools and allows for quickly updated processes and data.Evaluate current and future capabilities with respect to NOAA requirements and identify optimum observing system investments necessary to achieve NOAA's long range mission objectives.Develop recommendations for observing system opportunities, taking into consideration key factors such as cost, impact, risk, schedule, and balance across goals.

      A creative engineer to help us conceptualize, develop, test, assess, and field thenext generation of ISRT and Counter-ISRT capabilities for the US military. Apply diverse disciplines such as sensor and data fusion, signal and image processing, operations research, applied physics, and artificial intelligence to build systems that automatically or autonomously orchestrate sensors, process data into information, and make intelligent inferences and predictions about complex threats and environments. Enable the US military to neutralize a wider variety of serious threats from safer distances than they could otherwise accomplish; improves the safety, survivability, and effectiveness of US air, naval, and ground forces; and disrupts the ability of potential adversaries to threaten our forces.
