AVERT

Brought on as a consultant to
create a Java GUI for this terrorist threat
assessment package developed by ARES for DTRA, I
eventually assisted with much of the central
simulation code. The varied tasks included a 3D
display of site maps, simulation of intruder and
guard motion, and implementing combat
models.

Fuzzy Compiler

Designed and implemented a
custom natural language compiler used as a front
end to drive an advanced fuzzy logic agent based
modeling package that runs on the web. Written in
Java, this package has been used by business, the
CIA and the Marines for everything from modeling
small unit tactics to kangaroo ecology.
