As a Signal Support Systems Specialist, I maintain vital signal support systems and terminal devices; the equipment that needs to consistently work in order for commanders to stay informed, track, and direct the movement of their troops. I perform signal support and technical assistance for computer systems, local area networks, and perform maintenance on equipment, terminal devices, power generators, and vehicles. I also detect enemy signals and jam enemy radio transmissions.

In the winter and spring quarter I was a part of a four person team led by a Nutanix Senior Engineer. Together we researched ransomware and identified signals that could be used to detect a ransomware attack. We then created software that combined multiple signals from VMs into one alert system using both ruled based algorithms and machine learning. This software was designed to be applied to a cloud system, sitting on the hypervisor level.
