  Currently, supporting my fourth joint test - Joint Conventional & Nuclear Integration (J-CNI). This joint test is designed to test a new CONOPS focusing on the integration, synchronization, and deconfliction of conventional and nuclear planning options. Provided analytical support to Joint Staff J7 Futures and Concepts Division from August to December 2022. Supported the development of the Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC) v3.0. The JWC is a global concept that describes an operational approach to defending the United States, our allies, and partners in future conflicts. Provided operational analysis support to OSD’s Joint Test and Evaluation program for three joint tests. The joint tests examined a wide range of topics including: - Integration and synchronization of personnel recovery operations and information-related capabilities (RESCUE) - Technology for combining disparate multinational and bilateral networks using data tagging to facilitate collaboration with multinational partners across a range of military operations (JI-DC) - The operational impact of improved access to electronic health records to reduce the time it takes to transport patients to a higher level of care (JI-MTM) Each test involved the development and execution of detailed test plans and presented unique challenges to collect, reduce, and analyze the data. Leveraged tools such as MS Teams for collaboration and remote data collection. Developed techniques to collect data and monitor user performance in near-real-time using Splunk dashboards. Utilized a variety of statistical techniques and tools, including non-parametric tests, regression analysis, and hypothesis testing using JMP statistical software. Test results were briefed to study sponsors and JTE leadership and documented in a final report Show less
