net ENGINEERING PROFILE An agile, task driven engineer with over 17 years of experience in Modeling and Simulation. Expert level experience in conceptualization, development, and demon stration of distributed interactive real-time simulations. In-depth knowledge o f various Modeling and Simulation tookits, APIs, open source packages, and devel opment tools to provide virtual prototypes for complex engineering problems. Cre ative problem solving and troubleshooting skills complemented by a systems level view to provide solutions early to save valuable resources. Proven ability to c ommunicate strategic goals and objectives with team members, upper management, i nternal and external customers. Core competencies: * Systems Integration * Real-time Simulation * 3D Visualization * * Systems Engineering * Software Engineering PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE BAE Systems (formerly known as United Defense), Fridley, MN Apr 2000 - Nov 2010 Senior Project Modeling and Simulation Engineer Conceptualize, develop, and demonstrate distributive interactive real-time simul ations for U.S military contracts. Use advanced modeling and simulation techniq ues to create virtual simulation environments as a platform for systems integrat ion with various engineering disciplines. Continuously improve modeling and sim ulation capabilities by researching new technologies and improving engineering p rocesses. Grow the engineering business by communicating the modeling and simul ation capabilities to upper management and our customers, both internal and exte rnal, in the on-site Virtual Integration Center or at various industry conferenc es. * Conceptualized, developed, and demonstrated the Generic Visualization System (GVS) and applied for a United States Patent (Application# 20070236502). * Integrated the Generic Visualization System with a complex, distributed realtime simulation created by another Operating Group within BAE Systems in three d ays. * Presented "Generic Visualization System: The Link Between Digital Simulations and a Virtual Environment" at Virtual Concepts 2005 in Biarritz, France. * Integrated various modeling and simulation components to create a motion capt ure laboratory for a key government contract. * Developed and demonstrated distributed real-time simulation that was a key c omponent in the capture of the Advanced Gun System (AGS) program.
