Expertise:
I have worked in the United States defense
industry since 2000 and in the military simulation and
training industry for over 8 years. I have been involved
with most phases of the simulation and database development
process from proposal support, production and testing
to onsite acceptance. My responsibilities included GIS
data creation, optimization and storage to terrain database
creation and 3D modeling. Sometimes this involved R&D
and proof-of-concept roles including technical documentation.
I strive to advance my knowledge inreal-time database
modeling,GIS and simulation to create both accurate
and realistic training and educational platforms. I
also hope to expand my knowledge base in this field
to better contribute to industries which rely on accurate,
dependable and cutting-edge simulation and training
systems.
