EXPERIENCE
Pacific Defense Solutions Kihei, HI
Senior Software Engineer 2009-present
* Currently integrating the core library of General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT,
developed at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) with TASMAN simulation framework
for use on HPC assets.
* Created Constant Time Median Filter (CTMF) for sensor calibration on SBSS sate
llite. Created MATLAB CTMF extension for simulation and testing of algorithm by
project team. First known C++ code in use on US satellite.
* Implemented protocol transparent network API integrating Fawkes TCP communicat
ion with TASMAN simulation framework, allowing painless replacement of native SN
AP UDP communication.
* Adapted separable convolution algorithm to use nVidia CUDA API on GPUs or a mu
lti-threaded implementation on multi-core CPUs for TASMAN. My optimizations and
GPU implementation reduced convolution run times from over 2 hours to less then
1 second.
* Ported Remote Ultra-Low Light Imaging (RULLI) sensor simulation developed in M
ATLAB to C++ for integration with Flexible Image Simulation Tool (FIST) for ROSA
Digital Defense, Inc. San Antonio, TX
