Skills
Science
- Translation and Application of Academic Research - The government's needs for scientific progress don't always match existing academic research thrusts. I can derive the necessary information from original source materials and oral presentations to help government change leaders understand how results from academic research programs can be best applied to their needs.
Research
- Neuroscience and Cognitive Science Research - After receiving my Neuroscience PhD from UCLA, I performed post-doctoral neurophysiology and neuro-imaging research into the neural basis of higher cognitive function. While at Booz Allen Hamilton, I assisted in data collection for a cognitive science research project. I have also designed a psycho-physical test for a classified project.
Information Technology
- Wide-Ranging Software Experience - I have worked on many small scientific proof-of-concept projects, and I have taken two of those to full production systems. I have also joined large-scale client-server development projects in progress, and written and tested business-critical applications. I have experience with Java, EJBs, Perl, C++, C, SQL, UNIX shells, HTML, JSPs, Javascript, MATLAB, Gauss, IDL, and Fortran.
Management
- Project Management - I have managed software development projects as well as scientific research projects. While at Booz Allen Hamilton I received an internal certification from the Systems Team Project Management Boot Camp.
Writing
- Superior Written and Oral Communication - I have solely prepared client deliverables, marketing briefings, proposals and employee assessments.
