      Jul 2017 - Dec 2020

      As an Aircraft Weapons Test Conductor, I coordinated aircraft, manpower, airspace, and data-collection resources to facilitate air-to-ground weapon testing. This involved organizing and overseeing live flight tests to validate the proper operation of electronic components in precision-guided munitions. I took charge of in-house modeling and simulation analysis, offering expert technical guidance on weapon modifications. Additionally, I authored technical reports focusing on the targets employed in developmental test and evaluation for hypersonic weapons.

      Supervising a team of 4, I initiated and managed security settings and 500 user accounts on Google Workspace Enterprise Plus. I also analyzed commercial network architectures for handling sensitive military data and digital engineering tools, (Commercial Solutions for Classified). Outside of my listed responsibilities, I connected businesses to users through the Space Force Pitch Day initiative, resulting in a $1.7M small-business research contract for a cryptography solution used in satellites and other distributed devices.
