EXPERIENCE:

2007--present	Senior Professional Staff, Applied Physics Laboratory

2000-­2007 Senior IT & CS Staff, Jet Propulsion Laboratory
             May 2005 - Present: Software Lead for the Orbiting Carbon
             Observatory (OCO) Level 2 retrieval algorithm.
             August 2000 - May 2005: Software engineer for the
             Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) Level 1A
             Geolocation, Level 2 Retrieval, and Engineering
             visualization codes.

1999-­2000    Postdoctoral Fellow, California Institute of Technology
             Member of the development team for WebWinds/DOVE, a
             scientific data analysis and visualization package
             written in Java, and honorable mention award winner for
             2001 NASA Software of the Year.

1997-­1998    Staff Engineer, Hughes Aircraft/Raytheon Systems Company
             Developed and tested embedded software based on customer
             requirements for operation of the AN/ALR-67 (v)3 radar
             warning receiver. Held a DoD secret clearance.

1995-­1997    Systems Engineer, Logicon Geodynamics
             Assisted in the planning and execution of field
             experiments to correlate concentrations of HCl and NO2 in
             rocket propellant clouds derived from lidar measurements
             with in situ measurements. Developed visualization
             software using C++ and OpenGL to graphically reconstruct
             cloud location and dimensions from video images.
