Accomplishments

  • Advanced ISR Dashboards & Analytics: Architected a suite of advanced dashboards for DCGS stakeholders and internal teams, enabling real-time tracking of exploitation metrics, product output, crew analytics, and mission tempo. These visualizations enhanced transparency, optimized tasking decisions, and exposed analytic bottlenecks to leadership.
  • Sensor-to-Shooter Data Flows: Built new data pipelines that streamlined the sensor-to-shooter process; trained over 200 joint and allied personnel—including U.S. Marines and Japanese forces—and implemented these workflows during multinational exercises. Also delivered mission-specific reporting tools using SnapGlass and OpenAI, cutting crew reporting time by more than 50%.
  • Automated Targeting Pipeline: Engineered an automated integration of DGS Enterprise reporting into Target Workbench and Gaia, fusing collection outputs into the AOC’s tactical operating picture in real-time. This solution advanced dynamic targeting and helped the unit meet OPLAN objectives for the first time in two years of monthly exercises.
