SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Developed full mesh network concept for USAF. Stovepipe communication systems with unique protocols, waveform and traffic management were limiting battlefield connectivity. As Chief Communications Architect for MITRE, developed plans for USAF conversion to IPv4/v6. Migration to IP concept now adopted throughout DoD.
Mapped out MILSATCOM commercialization strategy. NextGen DoD satellite comm. requirements included cost reduction and added capabilities. Evaluated alternatives for Space Architect Office using satellite and terminal engineering teams. Recommended commercialization of DoD spectrum to offset costs and increase capacity.
Solved critical design issue at MITRE. Strategic missile early warning system had computer throughput issues. As Chief Systems Analyst developed new, faster algorithms for missile tracking calculations to support requirement for higher processing speed. USAF made difficult and costly decision to upgrade to more powerful computer.
Optimized signal processing for NSA. Existing descrambling systems at NSA were only processing a fraction of signal volume from international crisis. As Senior Cryptographic Mathematician, developed unique single filter decryption process which sharply reduced processing overhead. Increased signal processing capacity 500%.
Engineered simple fix for Milstar messaging problem. USAF Terrestrial Segment R&D cost nearly $12M per terminal. When message rate problems...
