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.
