Key developer in the Kubernetes refactoring and modernization of a multi-tiered triage pipeline, typical of large organizations maintaining cyber defense. The system processed a continuous stream of artifacts—executables, scripts, and observables—that required automated enrichment, classification, and prioritization.

Primary contribution was the design and implementation of a self-managed Zeebe broker BPMN-based orchestration layer that replaced ad hoc scripts with structured, declarative workflows. I built support for defining analytic pipelines as composable DAGs, integrating tools such as YARA, Ghidra, and internal classifiers as reusable analytic tasks.

This work focused on a BPMN-based orchestration system designed to streamline triage operations, improve maintainability, and support future scaling:

• Developing the workflow execution engine and task interface

• Managing integration with existing enrichment tools and data sources

• Supporting task routing and branching based on artifact scoring or metadata

Key developer supporting an enterprise system where users or agents formulated and maintained seed queries used to track evolving relationships in large-scale network models. This approach is typical of applications in fraud detection, content personalization, and cyber threat intelligence.

My primary role was the implementation of the graph construction and enrichment tier. This tier automated:

• Personalized PageRank-based walks from seed nodes

• Fusion of data attributes across structured and semi-structured sources

• Periodic aggregation via Airflow pipelines to maintain dynamic graphs

• Export of enriched results as spreadsheets or structured datasets

The graphs formed a question-focused view into complex data, evolving with each re-enrichment cycle to serve specific investigative or analytic purposes.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked directly with end users and international partners—serving as a technical bridge across cultures, mission environments, and operational systems.

• Embedded User Training:

  Early in my career, I led a 7-month embedded training session for an electronic warfare (EW) simulator system. I began as an engineering contributor, then deployed with the system and lived with users to train them during delivery. I repeated this model in four additional 3-month deployments supporting a shipboard missile defense trainer, ensuring user success and supporting field validation.

• Pioneer UAV Shipboard Testing:

  As an engineer supporting the Pioneer UAV program, I participated in extensive shipboard and field testing for system acceptance by the U.S. Navy. I embarked aboard the USS Iowa, operating in the Caribbean, Atlantic, and waters off Europe and North Africa, contributing to the validation and integration of the UAV system during live missions at sea.

• International Technical Engagements:

  As a contributing author to the 1995 ITU Spectrum Monitoring Handbook, I traveled internationally for training and collaborative technical engagements. I supported HF and VHF/UHF monitoring deployments and provided training to Colombian special forces in radio direction finding. These assignments included work in Taiwan, Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia.

• Industry Collaboration and Sales Support:

  I also supported international product sales and technical integration through collaboration with Israeli Aircraft Industries, and served as an applications engineer during both domestic and international pre-sales engagements, helping customers evaluate and adapt high-performance RF and signal analysis equipment to meet local mission requirements.
