Focused on Strategic Defense and Space Technology Engagements for Nokomis Inc, I work directly with senior mission leaders across the U.S. Space Force, DoD, and the broader national security ecosystem to deliver next-generation, multi-domain RF sensing capabilities—integrated across platforms to enable persistent custody, support detection of hypersonic and advanced missile threats, and strengthen electromagnetic Space Domain Awareness for mission assurance.Working alongside a world-class team of scientists and engineers capable of Ensuring the Development and Delivery of technology solutions, I help lead efforts to shape the next generation of foundational space-based sensing architectures—moving beyond legacy support toward scalable, interoperable, and resilient multi-domain solutions. Our work directly supports the mission objectives of the U.S. Space Force, Space Development Agency (SDA), and Missile Defense Agency (MDA), as well as broader strategic initiatives across the DoD, NRO, SMDC, DARPA, and NASA. We partner closely with commercial prime contractors, satellite manufacturers, and on-orbit service innovators to develop and deploy RF sensing technologies aligned with rapidly evolving mission needs.We provide a transformative sensing layer that enhances and extends the performance of EO, IR, and radar systems. By overcoming line-of-sight, surface-level, and 2D constraints, Nokomis RF sensing enables rich, multi-dimensional awareness across highly contested and dynamic environments.Through proprietary advances in ultra-sensitive detection (-170 dBm), SWaP-C reduction, and onboard edge processing, Nokomis has redefined RF as a compact, power-efficient, and mission-ready solution. At just 2.5” x 2.5” x 0.5”, 148g, and under 10W, our systems deliver persistent sensing from VLEO to lunar orbits and across air, land, and sea.
