Professional Experience

DigitalGlobe Ÿ Stuttgart, Germany ŸTampa, FL

    Served as senior member of the Special Operations Command Pattern Analysis Section.

    Developed predictive analytics using multi-source classified, Open Source (OSINT), and 100+ GIS data layers to comprise a holistic geospatial picture for Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel.

    Leveraged knowledge of high-end geospatial tools to include ArcGIS, Anthromapper, Signature Analyst and the SIGINT Tool kit along with more traditional intelligence and socio-cultural data layers.

    Created both Secure Compartmented Information (SCI) and releasable products for SOCEUR operations and planning to meet US and NATO SOF requirements and priorities.

    Developed products focused on counter-terrorism, civil-military operations, social media/crowd sourcing exploitation, and demographic/refugee flow mission sets. Assisted 3 and 4-star decision makers as well as fielded tactical forces.

    Regularly briefed management and SOCEUR/EUCOM SOF senior staff with products and related analysis

    Recognized as a theater GIS subject matter expert granted funding by the National Intelligence Council to provide methodology and knowledge of the European region to DIA, CIA, and NSA senior staff members at the Pentagon.

SPADAC Ÿ Washington, DC

    Provided direct support to the war effort through time-sensitive, advanced all-source data fusion and analysis.

    Identified and characterized High Value Individual (HVI) patterns of life, meeting areas, and bed down locations for Irregular Warfare (IW) missions.

    Conducted cost-surface analysis portraying routes and mobility estimates, infiltration, and exfiltration options for target package development.

    Mentored junior geospatial scientists in narrowing the HVI search space by harnessing the Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) Toolkit, building complex ArcGIS models, and applying advanced statistical analysis to the problem sets.

    Trained Human Terrain analysts in developing tribal and ethic maps in the most current and reliable multi-format data.

    Collaborated with developers to improve in-house software as well as to produce scripts for automating processes.

    Coordinated with internal and 3^rd party government intelligence parties to strengthen collaboration and data-sharing relationships with outside organizations.

Professional Experience (continued)

Next Tier Concepts Ÿ Vienna, VA

    Created a Western U.S. ESRI GIS system populated with data from the United States Forestry Service (USFS) and numerous other natural resource agencies. Used ESRI to process geospatial layers for integration into Google Earth.

    Successfully deployed a USFS Google Earth globe, giving forest firefighters a common base of operation to better allocate limited resources and quickly respond to new fires.

    Streamed fire-related Keyhole Modeling Language (KLM) hosted by various agencies to update firefighters on current weather conditions, wind speed and direction, cloud cover and lighting strikes. Streamed Terra or Aqua satellite imagery for early detection of new fires.

    Updated aerial responders locations via beacon systems aboard responder planes and helicopters. Fused static ArcGIS layers onto the globe, such as historical fire perimeters, transportation systems, hydrology information, aviation bases, administrative boundaries, assets at risk, etc.

    Designed and executed a system for local firefighters to post new fire perimeter shapefiles to the globe and view the latest fire direction probability models.

    Facilitated significant technological gains for the USFS by integrating real-time, complex, disparate datasets and fire path model predictions into one visualization tool for responders.

Intergraph Ÿ Reston, VA

    Served as an NGA Liaison Officer providing overseas geospatial support for 3 years.

    Built ruggedized mobile GIS systems identifying user locations on high-resolution imagery using real-time GPS feeds in both ArcPad and FalconView.

    Provided customers with alternative communication platforms to backup failed laptops due to environment conditions.

    Developed easy-to-use drop down menus in ArcPad for customers to quickly and reliably record field observations.

    Constructed ESRI terrain familiarization maps for rescue missions.

    Created war-time status maps in ArcMap for high-level government briefings.
