Professional Experience

Lockheed Martin Missile Fire Control

Software Engineer III | Orlando, FL

09/2024 - Present

Served as Software Integration & Test Lead for radar flight-test efforts, translating software, programmable logic (PL), and hardware needs into integration priorities and coordinated test execution.
Owned radar-control UI software for system operation and hardware-facing test workflows, enabling operators to control radar behavior during integration and flight-test activities.
Developed an AIS browser utility for boat location and detection, connecting location data with hardware-connected radar test activities.
Managed one software engineer and one systems engineer across software delivery, integration tasks, and system test procedure execution.
Led hardware-management test procedures, lab quality validation, and user guide documentation to standardize software operation and repeatable test workflows.

Software Engineer II | Orlando, FL

03/2021 - 09/2024

Supported software development for radar control, embedded systems, and flight chamber test software through hardware integration and mission-critical test execution.
Developed multithreaded C++ and Linux UDP software for radar data processing and system diagnostics, handling multiple data channels up to 100 Gbps.
Implemented real-time radar processing algorithms, including Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR), motion compensation, and platform navigation status for live data analysis and visualization.

Built C++/QML radar control software for test-bed and flight-test hardware, integrating mapping, target location, waveform and control command transmission, graphical plotting, board status, and external hardware controls.
Developed embedded FPGA timing-control software and a C# hardware-control tool for FPGA verification, enabling real-time visualization, improving test throughput by 33%, and saving over $100K.
Analyzed binary post-test data in MATLAB for model and system performance validation.

National Air and Space Intelligence Center

Data Analyst I | WPAFB, OH

10/2018 - 03/2021

Led a $247M radar study with an 18-member team and oversaw system technical scope analysis for 75 members, enabling operational workflow improvements and supporting a $1B research program.
Served as a subject matter expert for MIMO radar analysis, briefing more than 1,000 personnel and providing key data to cross-organizational intelligence community partners.
Conducted statistical analysis and data fitting in MATLAB and C++, improving model accuracy and producing actionable technical findings.
Mentored analysts on performance programming tools, decreasing production time by 40%, improving resource use by more than 20%, and increasing production by 50%.
