Project Athena

A Pythonic solution to watch-keeping, reporting, vessel tracking, and metrics.

Awarded the Navy-Marine Corps Achievement Medal.

Led the development of Project Athena, a Python-based tool suite that automated and modernized operations at the Fleet Information Operations Center (FIOC) UK Battle Watch. The platform featured intelligent user activity tracking, automated logging of watch-standing actions, streamlined report dissemination, and drag-and-drop vessel tracking through a visually intuitive PyQt interface.
