My primary duties include understanding and interpreting a raw, constantly evolving requirements base and creating easy to use tools for both laboratory and field testing environments. I work within a group of Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and utilize a collaborative, team-based approach to problem solving. Most significantly, I designed a tool that accepts real-time GPS feeds and interprets them into accurate and reliable missile targeting information. I also provide on-site field support for both Platform Integration and Live Ground Launch events. I am the Primary Gunner for all live ground launches, and am proud to have been trusted with personally launching 10+ Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) missiles. Show less
