1999- Present, Progeny Systems Corp, Middletown, RI
Lead Software Engineer Electronic Warfare Stimulator
 Architected and built the Electronic Warfare Stimulator for the real-time generation of Pulse Data
Reports in support of the Electronic Warfare Server for BLQ-10B.
 Utilized highly parallel and vector co-processors for the generation of Continuous Data
Intermediate Frequency (time series data).
Software Developer US Navy’s Common System Architecture for the Littoral Combat Ship
 Participated in the development of a Common System Architecture (CSA) for the US Navy’s
Littoral Combat Ship (LCS).
 Utilized Enterprise Architect to design Data Centric Services for CSA.
 Created a set of libraries for the Naval Surface Warfare Panama City Division’s (NSWC PCD),
Unmanned Vehicle Management System (UVMS) that was simply linked in and allow UVMS to be
controlled by CSA.
Software Developer US Navy’s Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Common Control Station (CCS)
 Development of middleware products in support of the US Navy’s Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(UAV) Common Control Station (CCS).
 Bridged communications between RTI’s Data-Centric Data Distribution Service and legacy UDP
utilizing Mule’s Enterprise Service Bus.
Chief Engineer Information Assurance Disk Washer (V)2
 Designed and led a team in the creation of an innovative NSA Approved disk clearing system for
naval platforms.
 The modular system used a series of interconnecting smart drawers, based on COTS computing
components, to wipe the disks and report results back to a central logging location.
 Developed and Documented the System and Software Architecture
 Enforced the use of a Central PTR and Configuration Management System
 Heavy utilization of COTS components to lower cost, and decrease time to market.
 Guided the IADW(V)2 through a Beta I and Beta II certification with Special Security Office (SSO)
US NAVY. Included the generation of IA documentation to support the certification.
Chief Engineer BYG-1 Advanced Weapons Control Prototype System
 Evaluated current weapons display and create a solution using COTS hardware and an open
architecture for communications, data basing, and displays.
 Coordinated and integrated TI-08 TCS BYG-1 and Common Weapons Launcher into the lab for
use as a front and back end to the Weapons Control Prototype.

2.  Successfully demonstrated the targeting of an ADCAP on a TCS contact
Chief Engineer/Lead Software Engineer Digital Data Collection System (DDCS)
 Pioneered the use of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) servers and high speed tape drives to
record processed system level data and raw sensor telemetry.
 Demonstrated the playback of recorded data back into the tactical system for use during Advance
Processing Build Step 3 assessment.
 Successfully steered DDCS through 5 hardware Tech Insertions while maintaining a common data
format.
 Migrated DDCS recorders to all current AN/BQQ-10 variants introduced DDCS to BYG-1 in TI-
06, and as a Roll-On Roll-off unit in the Surface Navy.
 Worked with developers to make the raw DDCS data usable in their applications
1987-1999, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Newport RI and New London CT
 Developed real-time applications that perform network communications, data capture and decode,
recording, on-line and offline analysis, and digital signal processing. Typically these applications bridged
the communications gap between a US Submarine Combat System and a commercial off the shelf UNIX
or PC workstation.
