MITRE is a government research enterprise that specializes in Cyber Security and Technical innovation. At MITRE, I been afforded the unique opportunity to hone two complimentary skills, Cyber Security and Software Engineering. Through a series of focused and high impact projects I've been able to lead core engineering efforts and design significant systems for our sponsors. I have also been a core engineer on a custom Digital Forensics and Incident Response tool, a Cyber Threat Analysis tool, and an advanced secure storage infrastructure. These efforts resulted in multiple awards, including a Federal Law Enforcement Award and a Directors Award.

MIT Lincoln Lab is a government funded research facility where I worked within the Space Systems & Technology Group. Lincoln Lab provided me with an opportunity to step into cutting edge technical research at a very young age and gave me direct control over portions of the projects I worked on. Projects such as the Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project allowed me to work on challenging problems that required innovative solutions. I was able to explore a plethora of topics that I would not have otherwise access to such as machine learning, image processing, parallel computing on supercomputers, and several other topics.
