Over 30+ years as an Aerospace and Radar Engineer. Currently working as a radar consultant. Prior to retirement from Raytheon as a Senior Engineering Fellow, I was the technical lead on a number of projects including a highly classified, company critical program. I was a technical radar expert and resource on a number of engineering issues answering to program management. I have extensive software experience both for real-time applications and large system simulations. On many occasions my assignments were projects requiring a strong technical input to management on short notice.
