PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Data & Infrastructure Systems Engineer with an 8-year evolution across network engineering, system administration, and
data systems, culminating in an intensive post-graduation (July - Sept 2026) focus on out-of-core analytics (DuckDB,
PySpark), Python ETL automation, and real-time telemetry. Proven expertise architecting Data Quality & Governance
frameworks (OpenPyXL AST logic parsing) and building resilient, air-gapped data networks (MikroTik, Cisco).
Experienced in configuring Raspberry Pi 4 edge compute nodes and custom secure data transmission protocols for
defense technology operations.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Defense Department Operations Nov 2024 – Present (Sept 2026)
Senior Data & Communications Systems Specialist
Post-Graduation Data Analytics Acceleration (July - Sept 2026): Scaled Apache Spark (PySpark) and Python ETL
pipelines to automate processing and aggregation of large-scale operational and logistical datasets, boosting data
processing throughput by 60%.
Defense Tech & Edge Compute Integration (July - Sept 2026): Configured Raspberry Pi 4 edge compute nodes
running custom encryption and secure data transmission protocols for reliable telemetry exchange under electronic
warfare (EW) conditions.
Automated Data Quality & Fleet Management: Architected a data quality framework in Excel Advanced using Python
(OpenPyXL), parsing AST formula trees to automate fuel calculations across operational load coefficients, achieving
100% data integrity.
Autonomous Air-Gapped Cloud & Observability: Deployed a local multi-user database cloud on MikroTik hardware for
offline stock tracking, integrating Grafana and Looker Studio dashboards for real-time resource visualization.

Defense Sector Communications Division Nov 2018 – Oct 2024
Network & Systems Operations Lead | 6-Year Technical Evolution & Infrastructure Management across defense
networks
Infrastructure & Tactical Deployment: Spearheaded end-to-end network deployment for command posts,
establishing secure telephony, data exchange nodes, and automated workstation (ARM) environments.
Enterprise Network & Security Management: Managed MikroTik and Cisco routers, switches, and firewalls; optimized
bandwidth, enforced KSZI/SSZI security compliance, and administered SEDO electronic document workflows.
System Administration & Incident Response: Oversaw OS maintenance, user access control, security audits, and
technical incident remediation across multi-node defense networks.

KEY ENGINEERING & RESEARCH PROJECT

UAV Telemetry & Network Reliability Optimization System — Lead Systems Engineer 2025 – 2026
Streaming Telemetry Pipeline: Engineered a Python/Bash pipeline to parse binary MAVLink streams from SITL
simulations, monitoring real-time network KPIs (QoS, Latency/RTT, Jitter, Packet Loss).
Hardware-in-the-Loop & Hardware Integration: Built an ArduPilot SITL simulation bench integrated with an onboard
Raspberry Pi 4 via UART/sockets for stress testing under signal interference.
Data Modeling & Observability: Modeled relational schemas in PostgreSQL/SQLite (reducing query latency by 40%)
and built real-time Grafana/Prometheus observability dashboards.
