About
I am currently overseeing the Architecture Planning and System Innovation branch at the NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) Office of Systems Architecture and Engineering (SAE), with responsibility for flight and ground architectures and joint venture projects that support environmental satellites.
My primary area of interest is the development and transition of meteorological observations and research, particularly involving remote sensing, into the operational weather forecasting environment.
Awards
For developing the novel GOES-18 split post-launch test campaign and interleave data distribution capability to restore GOES-West imagery. (With team of colleagues from NWS and NESDIS)
For ensuring that NOAA’s next generation geostationary satellite system will meet the most critical observing needs for our nation and partners. (With team of colleagues from NWS and other NOAA line offices)
For development and implementation of the GOES-17 Advanced Baseline Imager cooling timeline, thereby enabling its sole operation as GOES-West. (With colleagues Matthew Seybold, Thomas Feroli, Thaddeus Johnson, and Brian Gockel)
Work Experience
I developed NWS requirements and a mission concept for the next generation of geostationary and polar weather satellites under the GeoXO and NEON programs.
I also led a team of government contractors conducting meteorological research, user engagement, and software development for operational users.
