### Principal Software Engineer @ ASRC Federal
Jan 2020 – Present | NASA Ames Research Center,  Moffett Federal Airfield
Working in the Airspace Operations Lab (AOL) - https://humansystems.arc.nasa.gov/groups/AOL/

The Airspace Operations Lab evaluates ATM concepts and explores human-system interaction issues in a simulation environment designed to allow rapid prototyping of NextGen concepts. This environment allows simulations of aircraft, ATM systems and communication infrastructure for both current day operations and a variety of future, highly automated concepts. Controller workstations are realistic emulations of today's en route, Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) and oceanic systems, enhanced with various AOL-developed decision support tools and automated functions.

•	Designed and implemented a conversion process using GDAL to transforms GeoPDF Map files to MapBox File Folder format. This is part of a new fast passed development project creating a situational awareness tool for the US Forrest Service and CalFire for use by drone operators while battling wildfires. Also involved in many other aspects of this project including UI development in JavaScript and overall system design. 
•	Designed and implemented a GraphQL interface in Java for the MACS (Multi Aircraft Control) platform to allow vehicle simulation operations to be submitted and controlled. 
•	Designed and implemented an extension to QGroundControl (a Ground Control Station that provides full flight control and mission planning for any MAVLink enabled drone). The extension communicates with a Nasa server to provide flight plan and status information. 
•	Designed and implemented an extension to Mission Planner (a Ground Control Station that provides full flight control and mission planning for any MAVLink enabled drone). The extension communicates with a Nasa server to provide flight plan and status information.
