• Co-founder and CEO of defense industry start-up focused on Electronic Warfare (EW) jamming detection and countermeasures. Patent Granted.
• Raised $2m in funding: awarded Department of Defense STTR Seq. Phase 2 [$1.3m], Phase 2 [$750k] and STTR Phase 1 grant [$50k]
• PI (Principal Investigator) for all grants. Led a team of ∼10 across multiple organizations developing a mobile ATAK app for warfighters to detect and
communicate instances of radio jamming; improving efficiency on the field by 90%.
• Successfully pitched the business case at multiple field testing events and garnered extensive support from executives across the Air Force and
Pentagon such as Air Combat Command A3J, 805th Test Squadron, and Special Warfare Directorate HQ to sponsor our company.
• Fostered business relationship with PhDs at Duke ECE Dept. & Applied ML Lab to develop jamming classification ML algorithms. Delivered product
requirements, built out simulation platform for data generation, and managed delivery + integration of model to meet Air Force requirements.
• Collaborated with defense prime Booz Allen Hamilton and led integration work between their Nexus backend platform and our frontend.
• Managed the partnership with Notch Inc, a leader in metamaterial solutions that enable antennas to be electronically controlled for beamforming,
to build out our portable direction finding solution.
• Led the integration work with multiple mesh network companies (Gotenna, Somewear) to allow data collected on our edge platform to be collected
across nodes for jammer localization and building a heatmap of the EW spectrum status.
