Raytheon

Manufacturing Engineer → Systems Engineer → Senior Systems Engineer → Product Owner

2016 – 2023

Built a career from the manufacturing floor to senior technical leadership. Started by optimizing production processes and implementing lean methodologies, then transitioned into systems engineering where I authored requirements and led verification for classified defense programs. Advanced to senior roles architecting satellite systems and finally brought product ownership practices to modernize software delivery in a traditional defense environment.

Maxar Technologies

Senior Systems Engineer

2021 – 2022

Joined Maxar to work on commercial satellite constellations. Led integration and test efforts for communication subsystems, collaborating across RF, power, and software teams to deliver complex multi-subsystem architectures on aggressive schedules.
