Senior Simulation Software Engineer

Navy Nuclear Veteran | Technical Lead | Simulation & Software Delivery

Hampton Roads, VA Metropolitan Area (Transitioning to Greater Philadelphia Area) | Open to remote or regional senior technical leadership roles

Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead specializing in the end-to-end architecture of Unity-based MRTS 3D training simulators. Backed by a 25-year foundation spanning zero-error Naval Nuclear operations and enterprise software delivery, I rescue under-scoped initiatives by building scalable simulation platforms, robust C#/.NET architectures, and automated CI/CD pipelines.

Driven by extreme ownership throughout the engineering lifecycle, I am seeking remote or regional leadership roles to bridge the gap between rigorous operational requirements and agile simulation engineering.
