General Dynamics Missions Systems is prime systems integrator developing and integrating secure communication and information systems for U.S. DoD, Dept. Homeland Security, and NASA. July 2013 to Present Currently a Senior Software Engineer assigned to NASA's Space Network Ground Segment Sustainment (SGSS) Program. SGSS modernizes NASA’s ground infrastructure systems for their Space Network, at the White Sands Complex in White Sands, NM and the TDRSS Terminal at the Guam Remote Station. These ground stations provide TT&C control for an array of 8 geosynchronous TDRSS satellites creating a “bent pipe” network to transfer data from the user platforms (SST, ISS, etc.) to the ground systems. Currently analyzing and resolving problem reports and developing customized software for the GVM Hifly product in a Linux based virtual machine environment. Hifly is COTS product which has been customized by SGSS and used for telemetry and commanding of the TDRSS satellites by the FGM Element. Following Agile/Scrum framework.

March 2005 - February 2010 Worked as a Systems and Software Engineer in the National Systems Division, working on the Ground Transport Segment (GTS) Radio Access Network (RAN) for MUOS, an Ultra High Frequency satellite communications system for the US Department of Defense. Project consists of converting a commercial third generation (3G) Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) cellular system to a military UHF SATCOM radio system using geosynchronous satellites in place of cell towers. Responsibilities include designing and developing real-time embedded software for the Operation and Maintenance subsystems for the Radio Base Station (RBS) and Radio Network Controller (RNC) and the systems engineering of the external interfaces to these subsystems. Also was a Software Task Lead for a team of up to 10 people working on the MUOS Program. Lead the systems engineering, design, and embedded software development of Ericsson’s RAN RNC and RBS O&M subsystems and MOM. Key skills used: OOD/OOP, Unix Solaris 2.8 Unix workstations, SlicktEdit, Eclipse, Java, C++, gnu C++ compiler, Rational Rose and RoseRT, ClearQuest, UCM ClearCase, Samba, and CITRIX. The target machine was a PowerPC mp750 processor (running OSE) on the O&M boards in the Ericsson RNC 3810 and RBS 3202.
