CAREER PROFILE

I have a solid military signal intelligence background in a variety of signal intelligence collections methods including electronic warfare, information/knowledge management and intelligence communication systems in order to produce high class analytical work. I am resolute in reaching goals in a productive, timely manner through organisational and analytical skills, whilst working well in a pressured environment. My main experience revolves around military signal intelligence and electronic warfare primarily focused on strategic government collections to exploit data communications in order to assist in visualisation of the operating picture whilst underpinning it with strong analytical skills in producing intelligence summaries, assessments and technical intelligence support. These skills play an integral part in the electronic and intelligence planning of tactical and strategic operations that enable the military to war-fight. I have managed, staffed, budgeted and developed leadership skills to support military organisations and therefore feel comfortable communicating all ideas specific to the task. Recently joined Royal Navy reserves specialist signal intelligence branch in computer to computer exploitation and recently deployed to Afghanistan where I was the information manager for Regional Command South HQ in Kandahar.
