Key Accomplishments
Turned around frequently failing critical surveillance system, keeping it operational within $1.4M budget.
GEODSS/Have Stare (HS) systems had been having excessive emergency maintenance actions. Established budgets,
plans and staffed field service team. Personally responded to an emergency software version release and received
special government acknowledgement. Established yearly maintenance plans for both HS and GEODSS.
Completed five concurrent software version releases, growing one release from $500K to $1.4M. The PAVE
PAWS and BMEWS systems had not been able to complete a software version release in two years. Responsible for
test procedures following step-by-step instructions with explicit pass/fail evaluation criteria. Developed and mandated a
72-hour simulation stress test. Added new ionospheric affects hardware and software to one release, coordinating efforts
with Boeing, Raytheon, associate contractors, government and site personnel.
Upgraded all computer systems within budget and without test delays. Tasked with upgrading all mission and
sensor controller systems to include a new command and control center that would operate global GEODSS sensors.
Established plans, budgets and managed the Test Planning Working Group. Directed the definition of all system
requirements and determined which requirements were not testable. Personally conducted all integration testing,
establishing all sensor start-up, shut down, operating procedures and diagnostics required to bring the telescope system
online prior to system integration into the operational environment.
Grew Litton profit by bringing in fixed-priced project on time and 4% under budget. Fixed-price contract to
develop the RICE-CIF communications interface between the new IBM mission processor and the radar interface and
control equipment. Staffed and led team to identify numerous errors in government specifications, directed the
development of a RICE signal emulator, completed PDR/CDR with a cost savings of $10K, led integrations ensuring all
allocated requirements were met and conducted all hardware and software training. Directed development of a radar
signal emulator which successfully ensured full end-to-end (mission processor through new communications interface to
radar and back) testing on first operational test period.
Led successful effort to win AN/FPS-85 contract. Bid was a firm fixed price effort supporting a small minority owned
business as the prime contractor. Coordinated proposal materials for all prime and LCS efforts laying out plans and
budgets. Primary liaison, coordinated responses to government comments and queries. Directed development of
weather and dome control simulator ensuring end-to-end testing while protecting sensitive telescope equipment from
adverse weather conditions.
Led successful integration of Telemetry Database Manager into upgraded satellite ground systems. As
integration lead, directed instrumentation of delivered software ensuring successful integration into larger Data Systems
Modernization (DSM) Program.
Led operating system upgrade without interrupting bank operations. The bank chose to upgrade from an older
IBM DOS/VM operating system to OS/MVS running on new IBM hardware. Developed an external training plan for all
systems programmers enabling them to be prepared for moving all software to the new hardware and operating system.
2. Used development of a Network Monitoring system to train all applications programmers in the languages utilized on the
new hardware and operating system.
