Dana Moore

 

Dana Moore (they| them) currently serves as a Principal Software Engineer with Leidos in Columbia, MD. Dana received an MSc., (Engineering Management), University of Maryland in 1997. BSc. (Industrial Design), University of Maryland in 1971.They are an Acknowledged expert designer, software developer, and author in the fields of peer-to-peer communications, machine learning, distributed sensing, and immersive virtual technologies for collaboration and training. As Principal Software Engineer, they are currently co-designing and developing tools and technologies to revolutionise the process of generating decision and communicating them to the Social Security client base. Their design employs Generative LLMs and bespoke code to help reduce the agency burden of communicating decisions from administrative law judges to claimants by 75%.

Previously, they served as Principal Scientist for Applied Physical Sciences, where they designed, developed, supported the monitor and control system for the first undersea freshwater delivery system from Turkey to Cypress. Prior to that, Dana was a Senior Engineer at SAIC, where they prototyped a next generation EW sensing architecture, and was a Lead Architect and a Senior Software Developer of SAIC’s next generation Online Interactive Virtual Environment (OLIVE).

As Lead Scientist with BBN Technologies in Arlington, Virginia, acting as Principal Investigator in BBN's research for the ONR LTSN (Large Tactical Sensor Network) Program, designing, implementing, and testing an UGS smart sensor web. This sensor web implementation was one of only three chosen for transition to USMC active forces.

As Lead Scientist with BBN Technologies in Arlington, Virginia, Co-designed the prototype for the ConEdison emergency response framework and application. While at BBN Technologies they also won the 2010 Federal Virtual World Challenge with a novel counterinsurgency team trainer. This trainer used a multi-user games framework to engage and teach active duty military principles of counter-insurgency. Further, they acted as Primary Architect of ACME (Agent-Automated Configuration Management Environment,) the continuous integration, test and assessment system used in the DARPA Ultralog (ultra-robust agent) Program.

Earlier, As Chief Scientist for Roku Technologies, they designed an extensive commercial streaming system for 3COM, Nextel, and Hewlett-Packard. The system based on automated understanding of contextual meta-data resulted in several U.S. technology patents.

Finally, as a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories, participated in several years of research and development in software agents with the National Security Agency, having devised advanced systems, notably the AUTOPILOT data-driven agent-guided SIGINT workflow system. Dana has published several books on topics ranging from P2P networks to immersive virtual worlds.
