What I Do
Expertise
🛡️

C4ISR / C8ISR Architecture

End-to-end command, control, communications, computers, cyber, coalition, and ISR system design. From requirements through deployment.

🤖

AI-Integrated Command & Control

Integrating local LLM inference into tactical C2 systems. Natural language interfaces for operator-driven decision support at the edge.

⚛️

ADMA Scheduling Technology

Adaptive Division Multiple Access — a novel polyhedral scheduling paradigm for heterogeneous compute. Patent-pending approach that outperforms TDMA and CFS.

🌐

Distributed Edge Systems

Multi-node mesh architectures for DDIL environments. Graceful degradation, distributed AI inference, and autonomous operation when disconnected.

🔒

Cyber Defense & SIEM

AI-powered security operations with MITRE ATT&CK mapping. Real-time threat detection, behavioral analysis, and automated response at the tactical edge.

✈️

Air & Missile Defense Integration

EADGE-T integration and BMC2 architecture. Direct experience with UAE national air defense systems and Emirati military partnerships.

What I Build
Technology

QOS — Quantum Operating System

Bare metal operating system with ADMA polyhedral scheduling. Maps heterogeneous compute resources to faces of an icosahedron for adaptive, health-aware workload management. Proven to maintain 100% success rate under sustained load where traditional schedulers fail.

ADMA — Adaptive Division Multiple Access

Novel scheduling paradigm derived from military TDMA radio concepts. Replaces fixed time-slot allocation with dynamic, health-aware face selection on polyhedral geometry. Applicable to CPU scheduling, quantum computing, network management, and autonomous vehicle coordination.

Edge AI Integration

Deploying 32B+ parameter language models on Apple Silicon at the tactical edge. Full C2 capability with natural language interfaces, RAG-powered knowledge bases, and autonomous operation in disconnected environments. No cloud dependency.
