Paoli, PA 19301

Education:
Present Pursuing MSEE in Robotics at Drexel University, 3.61/4.0 GPA (Part-time, completing Spring 2014)
2008 BSEE Louisiana State University, 3.5/4.0 GPA

Interests:
Signals Analysis, RF Communications Engineering, Image Processing, Embedded Software & Hardware Development, Robotics and Autonomous Control

Current Employment:
2008 – Present The SI Organization, Inc., King of Prussia, PA.
(RF Communications) Systems Engineer
Systems Engineer Assoc.

Current Work Responsibilities:
• Responsible for system level RF waveform modeling and simulation of communication links including post simulation analysis for the development and verification of Government hardware and RF link requirements.
• Development of related engineering tools (MATLAB and C++ based) required for all phases of analysis of both simulated and time domain captured waveforms.
• Responsible for documenting all phases of simulation and analysis, compiling results into technical reports, and out-briefing to our clientele.
• Performs cross-team technical collaboration with specialists from other companies and regions in the US.
• Works independently on complex tasks and manages individual work to meet project deadlines with little to no direct supervision.

Specific Work Experience:
• Designed and implemented a MATLAB based Software Defined Radio receiver as part of a waveform quality metric study
o Implements blind symbol timing recovery, blind frequency/phase recovery, and multiple types of equalization.
• Took lead role in the analysis and documentation of results of a technology development demonstration program
• Member of an optical sensor anomaly resolution study team
o Played a major role in establishing the algorithms and methods used in the solution.
o Significant contributor to the documentation of results and recommendations. The subject matter was outside my area of expertise and required the quick learning and application of domain knowledge to be a highly productive member of the team.
• Delivery of both technical and non-technical briefings to internal and external audiences
• Member of a User Experience (UX) design team developing web interfaces
o Web development for internal and external sites and acting as a technical resource
• Software development in MATLAB, C/C++, UNIX scripting and Excel
• Advanced development of MATLAB based GUI’s for image and RF signal processing applications

Special Achievements:
• Earned an above average performance review for 2012 and on-level for 2009-2011. Earned special recognition awards for exceptional work accomplished in 2009, 2010 and 2012.
• Authored and published a whitepaper entitled, “Optimal Design of High Order Constellations”.
