Defense Systems, Arlington, VA |
2004-2009 |
- Advanced Modeling and Simulation technical
demonstration showcase for prominent government,
international, and industry visitors.
- Systems architect for sophisticated AV switching,
network, control, and multi-site content delivery
systems. Deployed production system upgrades (including
conversion from analog to HD digital streaming video
pipeline) during heavy event schedule. Designed and
deployed flexible network and fiber infrastructure to
support multiple simultaneous events at different
classification levels using permanent and visiting equipment
configurations. Responsible for design and installation of 4
remotely-operated satellite viewing sites across
country.
- Test & evaluation of new components deployed across
enterprise. Optimize and document compression and network
settings for standard configurations. Establish training,
knowledge base, and community of practice collaboration
sites for other technical staff across enterprise.
Presented technical architecture and common tools at BTEC16
(Boeing Technical Excellence Conference).
- Deployed baselined Linux servers on each network to
handle core services (DHCP + DNS, email alerts, Nagios
service monitoring, RAID file server with Samba CIFS, FTP,
and apache web access, Squid proxy, SVN repository, mirrored
via ssh+rsync through available VPN gateways. Developed
customized KNOPPIX LiveCDs for cross-platform systems test,
maintenance, and network backup/restore. Implemented and
documented scripts for event automation and synchronization,
including "VNCequencer" setup for connecting several VNC
sessions on cue, adding labels, controlling total bandwidth
with wondershaper interface to iptables, and performing
record/playback. Implemented PC AV capture, MPEG4
compression, real-time multicast transmission,
record/playback using VideoLAN.

- Director of high profile R&D laboratory. Defined
concept of operations & resource allocation for various
engineering teams.
- Development and integration of equipment & AV system
for software development, collaboration, and demonstrations
of GCNSS (Global Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance
System) contract for FAA. Configured applications and
network tuning for satellite data communications with
Connexion by Boeing test aircraft, depicting near realtime
ADS (Automated Dependent Surveillance) reporting and
visualization in FlightViz, video surveillance, and WiFi
communications with on-board federal air marshal
devices.

to ETMS (Enhanced Traffic Management System) data and tools.
Wrote & deployed ASDI (Aircraft Situation Display to
Industry) datafeed logging, archive, and proxy service
script displayed using AADS (Aircraft Activity Display
System).
- Software engineering of DES (discrete event simulation)
engine supporting a team of 20 simulation software
developers. Contributed comprehensive unit conversion &
common constants library, coordinate transformations, and
XML schema & XSLT for data logging and export utilities
for visualization in TAAM (Total Airspace and Airport
Modeler) and other analysis tools. Implemented remote
client access, configuration management checkout and build
process using Clearcase, Design of Experiments directory
layout on SUN 24-node HPC simulation server. Set up remote
access using VNC (Virtual Network Computing) and cygwin
XFree86 supporting OpenGL 3D rendering over the network, and
implemented fast and consistent mirroring across East and
West Coast development environments using rsync +
ssh. Completed DOORS training for requirements management.
- Data analysis: mined BTS (Bureau of Transportation
Statistics) website data using perl and octave scripts,
matching separate arrivals and departures data to assemble
and perform statistical analysis on flight times between
airports. Developer on small team of Java programmers to
create web-based frontend to FAA Advisories database.
