Professional Background

GMTI Analyst/Exploitation Tool Evaluator; ManTech SRS Technologies                 10/2008 - Present

·   Establish user requirements, evaluate system utility, determine usability and conduct software testing on emerging motion intelligence, SIGINT and activity based (ABI) technologies developed within Innovision.

·   Key subject expert for NGA/IDA’s Analyst Workshops and User Engagements, and active in greater community through the GMTI Community of Practice (COP) conferences and working groups to improve tasking, collection, processing, analysis and metrics.

·   Liaison for NGA/IDA to military and industry partners to build strategic relationships with corporations and different Services to gather technical concepts and user inputs while aiding in the development, transition and transfer of IDA’s advanced technologies.

·   Worked with scientists and engineers to refine modes, processing and exploitation algorithms to extract maximum utility from national and Service radar collection systems, focused on denied area and “hard target” problems.

·   Conducted GMTI-centric multi-INT data analysis in support of national tests, operational requirements and homeland defense, to include providing timely multi-INT analysis of GEOINT, SIGINT, and HUMINT data. 

Imagery Analyst/Collection Manager; ITT                                  10/2006 – 10/2008

·   Provided technical and collections expertise to direct overhead, airborne and commercial imagery collection in support of national activities and time critical operations as a Data Collections Manager for NGA’s Image Quality and Utility (NIQU) program.

·   Prepared collection strategies for all AGI data collection, investigated AGI related technologies, provided responses to relevant intelligence and technical issues, and coordinated with senior staff for implementation of advance algorithms.

·   Tiger Team participation to address Commercial Imagery Exploitation issues and discrepancies, performing numerous Return to Operations (RTO)/Return to Missions (RTM) “Quick-look” Assessments.

·   Contributed to NIIRS evolution through expert inputs to NEF, and calibration and evaluation testing of EO/IR systems.

·   Ensured that image processing was consistently performing within required parameters on collected imagery, and that the derived products were being correctly disseminated to the appropriate image libraries (UNIL, NIL, WARP, WARP Extreme, IAS, Q2 Client, IPL, CIL, RMS, NES, CALA, IVAP, VAP, JFCOM/JRIL, JWAC, PMAA, NCDS, IEC, ETPR, MASINT and BRIO).

·   Tested GEOINT tool performance against the Product Quality Operational Criteria, and assessed their usability and interoperability.

·   Assisted in planning, coordination, development, implementation, and execution of a comprehensive Product Quality Assurance (PQA) program to address system development, transition and operations; including operational concepts and procedures.

Geospatial Intelligence Specialist/Cartographer MC&G; USMC                       02/1998-05/2006

·   Applied technical expertise to analyze and integrate commercial and Government hyper-spectral (HSI) and multi-spectral imagery (MSI) to produce meaningful geospatial intelligence in support of III Marine Expeditionary Forces operations.  Expertise is rooted in formal training in spectral imagery processing and exploitation for both commercial and military applications.

·   Managed geospatial product requests resulting in the dissemination of hundreds of maps, charts and related terrain, hydrology and feature products. Worked as part of a team to develop a vector database that more efficiently supported production for II MEF.

·   Performed precision ground control survey operations to provide positional data for various weapons delivery and C3 systems.

·   Trained subordinates on GIS systems, tested new GIS software, and recommended upgrades and modifications to tool developers.
