Experience

1. Site Lead and Data Scientist

   Delta Solutions and Strategies

   Jan 2025 — Present · Sumter, SC, US

   As a Site Lead, I bridge the gap between complex operational requirements and high-accuracy technical solutions. Currently overseeing 24 personnel and complex contract compliance, I specialize in applying Generative AI, Machine Learning, and Sensor Fusion.I don’t just manage data; I build autonomous systems that solve the \"OODA loop\" challenge at scale. My work centers on:Agentic AI & MAS Architecture: I design modular Agent-to-Agent (A2A) frameworks that decompose narrative reports into actionable intelligence, ensuring every insight is grounded in organizational Intent.Advanced Sensor Fusion: I develop multi-sensor algorithms (CNNs, ViTs, Transformers) for object detection and tracking, integrating radar, EO/IR, and LiDAR data.Targeting the convergence of Computer Vision, Time-Series Analysis, and small craft operations.Pioneered Multi-Modal Sensor Fusion Algorithms: Developed and deployed sophisticated fusion layers integrating Radar, EO/IR, Acoustic, and LiDAR data to provide a unified Common Operating Picture (COP) for small craft detection.Architected High-Fidelity Identification Models: Leveraged Vision Transformers (ViTs) and CNNs to achieve real-time classification of objects, reducing false-positive rates from environmental clutter.Implemented Spatial-Temporal Tracking: Applied LSTMs and Transformer-based time-series analysis to predict drone flight paths and intent, enabling proactive rather than reactive defensive posturing.
