EXPERIENCE
Airspace & Airport Analyst July 2001 - present
The MITRE Corporation, Center for Advanced Aviation System Development,
McLean, VA
• Analyze historical and simulated operational data and develop simulations to draw
conclusions about airport, airspace design and aeronautical procedures.
• Define, plan, document and execute complex data analyses. Identify trends, patterns
and issues.
• Develop simulation models, mine data and conduct analyses.
• Create impact and benefits analysis of regional and terminal airspace as well as
procedure redesign for the FAA and International Aviation Authorities.
• Proficient in Terminal Area Route Generation Evaluation and Traffic Simulation
(TARGETs), which contain GIS capabilities, procedure design, noise screening, CNS
coverage assessment, aircraft simulation and scenario building, airspace building and
metric collections.
• Work closely with air traffic control and airport management to obtain data needed to
create and validate simulation models.
• Developed the requirements and implemented the Procedure Tracking tool, using
Excel and Visual Basic Macros, to track changes and show milestone time lines. This
allowed users to select, filter and output results in tables and charts. This tool is
currently being used by both MITRE and the FAA.
• Coordinated with subject matter experts on Terminal Radar Approach Control
(TRACON) integration analysis. Gathered and analyzed massive amounts of Air
Traffic data and produced case studies to determine the pros and cons of various
TRACON integrations, using TARGETs, ArcGIS, Sector Design and Analysis Tool
(SDAT) and Excel. These tools were used to show impacts, comparative benefits and
provide the “big picture” in the form of visuals.

• Assisted the Minneapolis Terminal Radar Approach Control in redesigning the
airspace in line with the new runways to show the impact of the airspace on the
Controllers before and after the proposed modifications.
• Developed scripts to extract the data from Total Airspace and Airport Modeler
(TAAM) into a flat text file, using Practical Extraction and Reporting Language
(Perl).
• Developed macro based spreadsheet to import the data generated from the PERL
scripts to create Excel charts within a PowerPoint presentation. The macro also
created a summary table to flag airspace changes that exceeded acceptable controller
workload thresholds. This saved considerable time and was used by other projects
with similar analysis.
• In response to FAA’s request for a study of the impacts on the Class B and C airspace,
responsible for extraction of data using various sources to determine the correct
current classifications, and those over the past 5 years and projected for the next 5
years.
• Conducted analysis to determine the impacts on the TRACONs that were not in the
appropriate classification (especially those going from Class B to Class C). Using
TARGETs, Google Earth, Excel and Tableau, the impacts of changes were presented
as case studies to the FAA.
• Analyzed the impact of balloon launches to the National Airspace System (Google
Loon special study) using TARGETs and Excel Pivot tables. Simulated balloon
launches from various launch points in the U.S., time of day and number of balloons.
The study identified issues of launch times and locations.
• Evaluated impacts of a total outage on New York TRACON. Implemented
simulations using TARGETs to replicate the scenarios. Gathered metrics from the
outage simulations and presented to show the lack of proper aircraft separation during
the outage. Conducted in-depth interviews with both Pilots and Controllers to
understand the process when an outage occurs.
• Evaluated the impacts of various facility Chicago area outages, which required a clear
understanding of the Chicago TRACON and surrounding airspace. Using TARGETs
and ArcGIS, depicted coverage analysis based on an outage scenario. Derived metrics
from each outage scenario to show the impact on the traffic and Controllers
workloads.
• As a member of the Optimization of Airspace and Procedures (OAPM) team, defined
the requirements of OAPM duties pertaining to Next Generation Air Transportation
(NextGen).
• Worked on Las Vegas, Southern California, Houston, Charlotte and Washington DC
OAPM projects to improve airspace efficiency, reduce complexity, optimize flight
paths and climb/descent profiles, promote performance based navigation and other
efficiencies.

• Worked closely with Controllers, Pilots and subject matter experts providing
TARGETs support and generating metrics.
• Performed complex analyses such as “Cone of Silence” and Fuel Burn analysis. These
analyses were conducted using ArcGIS, TARGETs, Excel and in-house built
modeling tools.
• Supported several international projects to provide baseline and proposed analyses.
Used TARGETs and Advanced Excel formulas to show comparative Controller
workload and aircraft metrics.
• Worked with SMEs to redesign and optimize airspace and arrival/departure routes.
• Gathered large amounts of data around proposed spaceport sites. Using TARGETs
and Google Earth, provided visual depiction of potential issues around the proposed
spaceport sites. Visuals were highly praised by FAA management because they
quickly convey the issues in just a few illustrations.
• Lead on Notice to Airman (NOTAM) Safety Dashboard team where we developed a
tool for FAA’s Audits and Assessment team to quickly identify errors with NOTAM
entries. This required an understanding of NOTAMs, the formats and structures.
• Used PYTHON programming language to parse and update the NOTAM database.
Used Tableau to connect to the NOTAM database and create user-friendly
dashboards to support Audits and Assessment. Also created additional Tableau
dashboards to assist FAA with general facility data such as staffing, runways and
operations.
• Utilize Geographic Information System using ESRI ArcGIS applications.
• Use SQL, Python, Java, Perl, C++, Excel Pivot tables, VBA macros and other
scripting languages.
Simulation & Modeling Engineer (Project Manager) July 1995 - June 2001
Innovative Solutions International, Vienna VA (no longer in business)
• Managed a team of four developers and two marketing specialists. Carried out the full
range of supervisory duties including the life cycle of PrecISIon Ware, a GPS
approach procedure design tool.
• Developed a tool that allowed monitoring of the Global Position System (GPS)
coverage 24/7. This tool continually monitors and generates reports of GPS signal
quality and the number of GPS satellites in view, and projected these metrics 30
minutes into the future. This was created to assist the FAA and airline industry to
gain confidence in GPS coverage for Aviation Navigation worldwide.
• Developed and oversaw animated visual tools for multimedia presentations of the
company’s products and services.
• Developed multimedia CD for the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (equivalent to the U.S.
FAA), to demonstrate Japanese version of the proposed GPS. Development required
proficiency with MacroMind Director (now called Adobe Director).

• Coordinated English and Japanese voice-over sessions which were incorporated into
the media.
Technical Associate July 1987 - June 1995
The MITRE Corporation, Center for Advanced Aviation System Development,
McLean, VA
• Created several tools to assist the FAA with studies such as: Tower Classification
Tool (Facilities Ranking model), Tower Space Model and Layout Tool.
• Developed system that captures diagnostic methods of resolving repairs to ground
based navigational equipment. This tool was used to train new technicians and
expedite repairs by experienced technicians.
• Developed an Excel-based tool that helps the FAA recognize the tower cab space
issues when installing new equipment. Created drawing templates of the equipment
installed in tower cabs, which allows Tower Controllers to conduct optimal
equipment layouts of new equipment on the new console in the Tower. This saved
FAA time and money building the optimal Tower layout to the Controller’s
specifications. Controllers requested modification to the consoles as a result of using
the tool, which was also used at the FAA Tech Center. Researched and tested multiple
paint and drawing tools for template creations. The macro-Visual Basic spreadsheet
reflects detailed data of the console area and tower cab equipment. If details of the cab
are not available, the tool intelligently approximates it based on the Tower Cab size
and number of positions. The tool determines the space needed to house both new
and old equipment during the transition period and allows for “what if” scenarios to
better plan for installations.
• Conducted “human factor” analysis to determine impacts of the equipment on the
Controller’s workload. This required research of human factors and interviews with
Controllers to determine issues such as equipment out of their line of sight, out of
reach, blocking their view and sounds.
• Build interactive dashboards for data visualization.
