What I'm looking for

I’m eager to continue delivering high-quality results on challenging software problems, leading and collaborating with cross-functional teams, and pushing myself to become a better engineer.

At Randstad Federal, I’m helping develop and integrate C++, embedded C, and assembly code from Control Law diagrams for Boeing’s Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System. I also created process documentation and maintain team progress metrics.

At Northrop Grumman, I converted Ada functionality to C++ for the Electronic Warfare Operational Flight Program, supporting post-flight analysis and a move to Linux. I authored and maintained Bash and Google Test scripts for automated unit and regression testing.

Earlier at Northrop Grumman, I developed a C++ database loading architecture that modernized legacy Ada-based EA-18G mission database functionality and enabled the OFP to enter and sustain a Mission Capable state. I also investigated and resolved software problem reports and contributed to requirements, testing, and technical training.

At XDR Radiology, I developed an administrator tool for XDR 4 using C#, .NET, and WPF, reducing the number of onscreen controls by 40%. I also built a C#/.NET client for multi-location database synchronization and created testing and documentation that supported the product and Tier 2 team.
