Brad offers utilities expertise in information security risk assessment, CIP compliance, utility security standards development, and secure systems engineering methodology. Brad brings the necessary technical experience and understanding required to rapidly deliver client architectures for the power systems domain. He brings technical supervision, project time and dollars estimation and project execution experiences to EnerNex, as well as a deep understanding of multiple product lifecycle experiences in design and development of software and electronics firmware.
Brad actively participates in home area network organizations of current interest to utilities such as the Zigbee and HomePlug Alliances, IEEE P1901, P2030, NIST SGIP PAP-15 and OpenHAN. Brad is an embedded systems and DSP engineer at heart, but has experience in software and systems architecture applied to building artificial intelligence based systems of systems for the aerospace and defense industry. He has previously provided information security architecture design, CIP compliance consulting, secure systems engineering, and general communications systems consulting for key utility customers. Brad brings the necessary technical understanding required for realistic secure systems engineering and system security architecture design in a power systems domain.
Prior to joining at EnerNex, Brad was a senior technical lead at Applied Systems Intelligence in Roswell, Ga. In this capacity, he defined and led the software technical aspects of various artificial intelligence technology programs for defense, government, and aerospace customers. Examples of his work include: simulation content and simulation software architecture development for J-UCAS related projects, research and development for Future Combat Systems – Warfighter Machine Interface Software, intelligent workflow automation components for the DD(X) program, an automated constraint-based operational planner for F-35 pilots, intelligence analyst decision support tools construction and risk assessment and wearable computer software prototype development for Navy SEAL applications.
Brad also worked at 4Access Communications, a startup check reader company, where he designed, tested, integrated Linux drivers, DSP algorithms and analog front ends for multimodal (magnetic and optical) MICR character recognition and processing.
