As a subcontractor for the Naval Nuclear Lab I worked as a developer on the Simulations Innovations and Modeling Systems Team.
My design background led to the team making me responsible for interfacing with product owners and creating designs for training software based on their functional requirements. During my time on the team I saw 4 projects through from concept to release, 3 VR and 1 desktop. These projects are currently being integrated into Navy nuclear engineer student training as well as being used to re-certify engineers.
Due to the confidential nature of these projects I cannot show much from them.
Contributions
- Led the design of 3 training applications from concept to release.
- Worked with project leads to establish new documentation standards to improve project organization and design work moving into the future.
- Led meeting to advocate for a more robust pre-production process and worked closely with project leads and product owners to implement it.
- Designed interaction sequence storyboards to determine training application flow.
- Created technical design storyboards to document which mechanics or interactions could use existing code libraries and which would need new functionality created.
