Extensive background in the development of particle instruments and remote sensing payloads. Experience in the design and development of commercial and space flight-qualified instrument electronics (power conditioning and data processing), front-end detector electronics, sensor electronics, custom ground support equipment, and individual analog, power, and mixed-signal components and subsystems. Experience in the development and qualification of entire instruments and subsystems for a variety of Civil Space and National Security Space applications. I developed flight hardware for Van Allen Probes (Earth orbit), Juno (Jupiter), Parker Solar Probe (Helio orbit), Solar Orbiter (ESA Helio orbit), Europa Clipper (Jupiter/Europa orbit), IMAP (heliophysics at L1), and a number of DoD missions.  I led efforts for tightly integrated instrument/payloads for cubesats, sub-orbital, grant/R&D efforts, and short term technology demostrations. My expertise span instrument concept development, particle physics simulation, instrument design, custom electronics, testing and validation of flight hardware through in-orbit operations.  I led and worked on projects with high staffing, fiscal, and schedule constraints. I served on multiple review panels for various flight instruments and various NASA instrument proposal review panels.
