Work Experience

Simulation Engineer at MITRE Corporation
August 1, 2025 - October 20, 2025
Designed and implemented advanced aircraft behaviors in AFSIM (F-35, MQ-9), modeling electronic warfare algorithms (e.g., spot jamming), improving realism and fidelity of DoD simulations. Built a Unity-based counter editor for DIGICAT, enabling dynamic counter data adjustments with ~2x faster iteration time, accelerating wargaming analysis for the US Army. Developed JSON data pipelines between Unity and AFSIM using Python, streamlining simulation setup and post-event analysis for Army wargaming scenarios. Created agent-based pedestrian behavior simulations in Java, leveraging probabilistic models for crisis decision-making on a Cesium geospatial interface. Produced custom wargaming unit models and tokens in Vassal, expanding the US Army’s operational simulation toolkit. Engineered a modeling framework using Cesium for analyzing and visualizing Air Force simulation data, enabling faster algorithmic exploration of large-scale scenarios.
Full Stack Developer at MITRE Corporation
July 1, 2022 - October 20, 2025
Developed orbital mechanics to render satellite trajectories around Earth on a Cesium web interface, supporting space situational awareness research. Designed and implemented a scalable API utilizing a MongoDB database, optimizing data access patterns for FAA personnel datasets. Mentored new developers in full stack development and best practices, accelerating team ramp-up and productivity.
