Profile

  • Formulated system concept for rapid response to DARPA worth $250K – $500K including: requirements analysis, physical and functional design descriptions, performance analysis, and conclusions
  • Reviewed and commented on Medical Device proposal in 8 hours contributing to $100K CIMIT award.
  • Main contributor to $70M sensor system proposal technical volume. Developed technical baseline (sensor, UUV, mission module and ship interfaces) with EPM and local and remote teams.
  • Led $20M win by analyzing neutralization system requirements, functionally decomposing system, and allocating requirements to develop functional and physical architectures that directed the team.
  • Defined an Electronic Warfare sensor functional architecture based on specifications. Incorporated SMEs’ insights for a quality functional decomposition and requirements allocation and a $20M win.
  • Developed an operational concept document, including 7 system-level use cases and excursions, for a DARPA unmanned ocean-going vessel. Conceptualized vessel’s sensor, assisted sensor development.
  • Synthesized Littoral Combat Ship mission module solution using component, subsystem, and system trades as part of larger systems integration proposal. Achieved Purple rating for core process.
  • Created ten antisubmarine warfare concepts and CONOPS and added specifications for top 4 over a two month period resulting in a successful meeting for senior leadership with US Navy stakeholders.
  • Developed active sensor receiver system architecture including functional flows from signal processing through track management using US Navy algorithms. Receiver incorporated into US Navy’s baseline.
  • Derived unmanned mine hunting system requirements that cut across functional segments for video and sensor data compression and for target reacquisition and imaging. Both met specifications.
  • Developed and successfully presented a proposal to a large Oil & Gas corporation that included all system engineering artifacts, interactive performance model, and three alternative physical architectures.
