Summary
Accomplished veteran with extensive experience in the design, analysis, and integration of naval combat systems, I bring a diverse skill set and valuable expertise gained from working as an In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA). Demonstrated ability to learn and implement best practices for combat systems operation, integration processes, and product services. Worked extensively with a broad range of combat systems equipment in fleet environments, providing firsthand experience in fielding and testing components, as well as collaborating with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to assess system design and plan for product improvements. With a strong familiarity with shipboard safety procedures, technical reporting, change management, and naval logistics support, I am well-equipped to contribute to and excel in challenging roles within the field of combat system integration and analysis.
