Message

At FTI Defense, I lead software development for FTI Nevi, a portfolio of mission-support applications for program tracking, operational visibility, and decision support. I lead a team of three engineers and guide feature delivery across applications.

I developed features for ISWAT to visualize resource consumption in air and sea operations. I also built and maintained test drivers for FTI Avya, supporting automated testing of the MSSV simulation framework, and contributed to MAST planning and tracking workflows.

At L3Harris Technologies, Inc., I built and maintained full-stack applications for contract management, program tiering, and labor tracking, and designed safety-critical software components for Army Unmanned Aircraft System ground control stations under DO-178 and FACE standards.

Earlier, I enhanced internal mentorship, analytics, and geospatial tools at L3Harris Technologies, Inc. At Collins Aerospace (formerly UTC Aerospace Systems), I developed a web application for manufacturing instruction revisions and solder material tracking; I was also recognized for advancing MapMerger vector data conflation software.
