Work History

Software Engineer/Analyst

Willbrook Solutions, Inc.
04.2007 - Current
  • Software Reverse Engineering work using IDA and GHIDRA to recreate the algorithms of binary on a development board. The results were thoroughly compared to the application for accuracy and allowed a hardware in the loop type analysis of the processes involved.
  • Created tools using the EWF libraries to download the files from the Expert Witness Format in a fraction of the time the tools included with Autopsy and other forensic tool take to download files. These tools saved up to 6 months of time for a previous task to perform a full forensic analysis in a compressed schedule.
  • Created a tool to do parametric analysis for telemetry to change to a subset of possible trajectory attitudes and decide at which times a group collection assets will cause problems and optimize to get the best data collect.
  • Increased software efficiency by identifying and resolving complex coding issues.
  • Developed user-friendly applications for improved customer experience and satisfaction.
  • Optimized system performance through rigorous testing and debugging processes.
  • Enhanced user experience by implementing responsive web design and optimizing website performance.
  • Streamlined website maintenance tasks for increased efficiency and improved site functionality.
  • Developed custom web applications, resulting in tailored solutions for client needs.
  • Integrated third-party APIs to enhance website functionality and provide additional services to users.

Software Engineer/Analyst

WESTAR Aerospace and Defense
03.2003 - 04.2007
  • Developed tools for use at the System Test & Evaluation Planning Analysis Lab (STEPAL) including a three Degree of Freedom debris propagator and an integrated version of the Kinetic Impact Debris Distribution (KIDD) engagement debris model that utilizes the propagator and scripts that automatically create output files in a format that can be loaded directly into the STK tool set, greatly increasing the efficiency of the analysts.
  • Reviewed project specifications and designed technology solutions that met or exceeded performance expectations.
  • Contributed ideas and suggestions in team meetings and delivered updates on deadlines, designs, and enhancements.

Developer/System Administrator

TYBRIN Corporation
05.2001 - 03.2003
  • As a developer, created a Cold Fusion web based hazard tracking system for Patriot, Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), and National Missile Defense (NMD) that allowed troops in the field to keep track of hazards and report them into a database so the safety community could address the issues.
  • Updated old code bases to modern development standards, improving functionality.
  • Automated repetitive tasks through scripting, freeing up valuable time for higher-priority projects.
  • Built databases and table structures for web applications.
