Todd Gillette currently serves as a Staff Software Engineer at Northrop Grumman Corporation’s Mission Systems as well as Director of onAir Tech, a startup building an innovative open knowledge network platform. Todd earned his PhD in Neuroscience in 2015 from George Mason University, having researched informatics and data analytics methods applied to neuronal morphology and function. He holds a BS in Engineering and BA in Computer Science from Swarthmore College.

Along with his many years working with software, Todd’s experience includes mission engineering and systems engineering, determining and documenting the key problems to be solved, deriving requirements, architecting and evaluating candidate solutions, and verifying designs and implementations. He has worked with cyber systems and software engineers to address anti-tamper and unintended emissions concerns and to integrate defensive and offensive cyber capabilities. Todd has also studied and applied artificial intelligence, including machine learning and logical ontology-based techniques. The intersections of AI and biological brains, and how to leverage them to enhance human capabilities in an ethical and human-centered manner, continue to be one of Todd’s primary interests.

👋 Hi, I’m Sai Sriram Uppada – a Data Analytics Engineering graduate, AWS Certified Data Engineer, and AI enthusiast who enjoys building end‑to‑end data, ML, and LLM‑powered systems that solve real problems in a scalable way.

I recently completed my Master’s in Data Analytics Engineering at George Mason University (GPA 3.85/4.0), where I focused on data engineering, machine learning, and LLM-based analytics. Over the past few years, through academic projects, research work, and internships, I’ve worked across the full data lifecycle: from ingestion and ETL to modeling, evaluation, and deployment for analytics and intelligent applications. I’m actively seeking full-time and internship opportunities as a Data Engineer, Data Analytics Engineer, or Data Analyst where I can contribute to data platforms, AI-driven products, and cloud-native solutions.

Computer Science Engineer

I am a Computer Science graduate student at George Mason University with a strong focus on building reliable, scalable, and cloud-ready software systems. My experience includes full-stack development, backend engineering, and DevOps workflows, with hands-on work across the complete software development lifecycle from design and implementation to deployment and maintenance.

My technical background includes Java, Python, Spring Boot, Django, RESTful API development, and relational database design. I have experience developing backend services, implementing secure and efficient data models, and integrating frontend frameworks such as Vue.js and React.js to deliver responsive, user-centric applications.

I have also worked extensively with DevOps and cloud technologies, including CI/CD pipeline automation using Jenkins, containerization with Docker, orchestration with Kubernetes, and deploying applications on AWS. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of deployment automation, system scalability, and operational reliability in modern software environments.

I am highly detail-oriented and approach engineering with a strong emphasis on clean code, maintainability, and continuous learning. I am motivated by solving complex problems, improving system efficiency, and applying modern engineering practices to build robust and impactful software solutions.

Pioneer in identifying, developing, and applying new information and communication technologies:

• The first consumer applications of the microprocessor (4bit & LSIs) … for the toy and game industry and for education
• The first internet cafe with online news, games, and computer conferencing
• The first prototype smartphone working with the developers of the Amiga computer, the first graphical computer

My current focus has been on developing the onAir Knowledge Network System, a knowledge sharing software platform with many unique features such as enabling authors to own and share their content across multiple public and custom Hubs.

The 2-minute video  gives an overview of many of the capabilities of the onAir platform and the US onAir network of 50 state hubs and national hub at us.onair.cc.  The nonpartisan nonprofit onAir Networks, a 501c3, oversees the public onAir networks and hubs licensing the onAir software from onAir Tech corporation (formerly AIR Networks, LLC).

I am a passionate Computer Science graduate student at George Mason University with 1.5 years of experience in software development and automation testing. Skilled in full-stack technologies (JavaScript, React.js, Node.js), cloud platforms (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes), and automation tools (Selenium, WebdriverIO).

I am eager to contribute to impactful projects and am actively seeking full-time roles in software development. Let’s connect to explore opportunities!
