  Huntsville, Alabama, United States I have supported many projects under this position: -Designed and developed software systems to perform trajectory optimization of hypersonic threats and associated data collection and analysis using Python, Scipy, SQL -Developed a method for applying uncertainty quantification and uncertainty propagation techniques to neural networks for calculating probabilities of dynamical states of aeroelastic aircraft bodies. -I led the development of an onboard neural network-based… Show more I have supported many projects under this position: -Designed and developed software systems to perform trajectory optimization of hypersonic threats and associated data collection and analysis using Python, Scipy, SQL -Developed a method for applying uncertainty quantification and uncertainty propagation techniques to neural networks for calculating probabilities of dynamical states of aeroelastic aircraft bodies. -I led the development of an onboard neural network-based control system for a micro air vehicle focused on online learning and modeling for real-time monitoring, prognostics, and control for both nominal and off-nominal flight conditions using open source software frameworks. The system operated in a C++/Python ROS environment with the flight control unit running a custom build of the PX4 Autopilot flight software that communicated with an offboard computer. This system utilized a gradient-free, GPU-accelerated algorithm for model predictive control housed on an Nvidia Jetson NX SBC that enabled high-frequency (250+ Hz) control of the target system. -Led the research, development, testing, and deployment of an adaptive sampling algorithm that quantified and leveraged prediction uncertainties in neural network regression tasks implemented in PyTorch as module of a larger software toolkit for optimal wind tunnel experiment design planning.

  • Nov 2016 - Jul 2018

  Hampton, Virginia Worked as the Flight Operations Technical Lead for the SAGE (Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment) III external payload mounted on the starboard truss of the International Space Station. I led a team of console operators and engineers in the development and execution of all flight operations, including planning, commanding, and monitoring of the SAGE III payload.

• Senior Software Systems Engineer

  Hampton, Virginia I worked as a senior software systems engineer during the integration and testing phase of the SAGE III/ISS science payload at NASA Langley. I developed ground testing command scripts and procedures and operated the flight payload as a test conductor during all milestone environmental and full-functional tests. In addition to that, I also developed and tested flight software for the science instrument and pointing control subsystems.

In addition to that, I also developed and tested flight software for the science instrument and pointing control subsystems. After all payload tested was completed, I spent time developing the core command load generation and mission planning software SAGE III would use during commissioning and routine flight operations and writing flight operations command scripts and procedures.
