RELEVANT WORK EXPERIENCE:
Test Engineer Jet Propulsion Laboratory June 2013 – Sep. 2013
During my employment at JPL, I worked with the Avionics Integration, Test, and Operations group in support of the soil-
moisture active/passive (SMAP) mission that launched January 31, 2015. My primary responsibility was conducting fidelity
testing between the actual performance of the radiometer flight hardware and its simulated hardware system. The data
resulting from my tests helped to increase simulation fidelity to the desired level. With the completed simulation design,
potential spacecraft commands can be tested before they are up-linked to the actual spacecraft. During my employment, I was
introduced to the python programming language, Unix/Linux syntax, and the SSH network protocol; I received training on
electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDs), cleanroom procedures, and became connector mate/de-mate certified. I also made
modest contributions to the Insight mission and the integrations and test lab (ITL) facility.

Work-Center Supervisor United States Navy Oct. 2002 – May 2007
While stationed on board the USS Hopper DDG – 70 as a 2nd Class Sonar Technician (STG2), I served as work-center
supervisor over as many as five junior STGs with the responsibility of ensuring all sonar systems were properly maintained
according to 3M standard and fully operations at all times. This included many equipment repairs, overhauls, and warfare
operations; I served multiple tours in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and many more
international co-ops with allied nations; my broad and diverse naval experience has facilitated and validated my ability to work
effectively in diverse, challenging, and complex working environments.
