EDUCATION HISTORY
College: University of California Irvine, Irvine, CA
Degree: B.S., Informatics: Software Engineering, Mar. 2015
GPA: 3.492.
Informatics brings together software engineering, human-computer interaction, and the study of
information technology in organizations into a single, focused degree program.
Informatics major studies software architecture; software development, design, and analysis; ubiquitous
computing; information retrieval and management; human-computer interaction; computer-supported
cooperative work; and other topics that address the relationship between information technology design
and use in social and organizational settings. The Informatics major addresses the broad set of issues
surrounding design, ranging from initial requirements gathering to software design and measuring the
impact of alternative solutions-all from a multidisciplinary perspective that includes computer science,
information science, organizational science, social science, and cognitive science.
Informatics addresses the design and construction of information technology systems that will be
effective in real-world situations. It includes not only building software but also examining the human,
organizational, and social context where the system will be used.
Informatics is the interdisciplinary study of the design, implementation, use, and impact of information
technology.

• Training in Equipment Maintenance - "Trailer Maintenance", or "TM", is hub of all maintenance for
the job-specific trailer equipment that is unique to Munitions career field. Maintenance and
Inspections are performed on Munitions Material Handling Equipment (MMHE) such as the MHU-
141, MHU-110, LALS, UALS, and the newer MHU-226 bomb trailers.
• Precision Guided Munitions - "Missile Shop” or "PGM" is responsible for the testing and
maintenance of all conventional air-to-air munitions used on aircraft. In some cases PGM will take
responsibility for guided air-to-ground bombs as well.
• Flight line Delivery - "Line-D" drivers are dispatched by Munitions Control and are responsible for
the safe and expedient handling and delivery of munitions from the bomb dump, or other storage
locations, to aircraft. Drivers are held responsible for the accounting of their equipment and
munitions movements via daily reconciliation, or "recon", which is an accounting of all these
movements which is verified three ways between the recipient of each delivery, Munitions Control,
and the Line-D driver, with a zero percent discrepancy tolerance.
• Conventional Maintenance - "CM" is responsible for the construction, maintenance, and testing of
all conventional air-to-ground munitions used on aircraft, ranging from chaff and flares to cannon
ammunition and guided bombs.
• Munitions Control - "Control" can be thought of as the nerve center of the bomb dump. Control
dispatches work crews, coordinates requirements, acts as a liaison for outside agencies, develops
war plans, provides oversight for safety and security, and ensures the daily reconciliation of all
munitions and related equipment against established inventories.
• Storage and Handling - "Storage" is responsible for storing and breaking out munitions required by
CM and Inspection, and is also responsible for the maintenance of the munitions storage facilities,
usually called "igloos", "magazines", or revetments ("revvies".) Storage is also used to transport
munitions over public right-of-ways to transfer munitions between different storage or shipping and
receiving locations.
• Inspection - All munitions items at various times need to be inspected for safety and compliance with
technical instructions. Specially trained NCOs and Airmen called Munitions Inspectors accomplish
this. Inspectors attend Inspector School, which lasts approximately 3 weeks and is usually
conducted at the AMMO Schoolhouse, located at Sheppard AFB, Texas.
• Munitions Operations - Responsible for the accountability and logistics for the entire munitions
stockpile.
Shepard Air Force, 82nd Training Group Whitcha Falls, TX March 1992 - May 1992
Ensures munitions are safe and compliant in accordance with military regulations and standards.
