Resume Highlights
Skills
My technical skill set is centered on building high-performance, mission-ready systems in disciplined engineering environments. I specialize in C++, Java, and Python, applying object-oriented design principles to develop reliable, maintainable software across simulation and distributed architectures. I operate comfortably in Linux/Unix systems and leverage modern DevOps tooling—including Git, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, CMake, Docker, and Kubernetes—to automate builds, enforce version control discipline, and ensure repeatable, secure deployments. This combination of low-level programming expertise and modern containerized infrastructure allows me to bridge the gap between simulation engineering and production-grade delivery pipelines.
Experiences
My experience spans high-consequence defense and aerospace programs where precision, reliability, and compliance are non-negotiable. As a Software Engineer II supporting U.S. Air Force missile programs, I developed and validated high-fidelity 6-DOF flight dynamics simulations in C++ and Python, improving trajectory prediction accuracy by approximately 25% through rigorous numerical integration, sensor modeling, and physics-based validation. At Space Dynamics Laboratory, I led development and integration of Java-based backend services for the FORGE Satellite Control Program, supporting mission-critical command-and-control systems for U.S. Space Force operations within a regulated, distributed architecture. Earlier in my career, I strengthened my systems foundation through cybersecurity research and distributed systems internships, improving threat detection effectiveness and fault tolerance through performance modeling and attack simulation. Across roles, I have consistently operated in structured, compliance-driven environments while delivering measurable performance improvements and maintaining disciplined CI/CD practices.
Certs & Educations
I hold CompTIA Security+, AWS Certified, and Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) credentials, reflecting applied expertise in cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and containerized systems. I earned a B.S. in Computer Science from Valdosta State University and an MBA from Louisiana State University, combining strong technical foundations with business and leadership perspective. I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, further deepening my expertise in advanced software engineering and systems design.
Leadership
I am trusted with architecture decisions and delivery ownership in classified, mission critical environments where precision and accountability are essential. I mentor engineers through code walkthroughs, design reviews, and test strategy sessions, helping raise overall team performance and engineering discipline. I am known for stepping into complex problems others escalate, particularly in performance optimization, determinism, and CI/CD failures, and driving them to resolution with structured, methodical execution.
