Summary
Patrick Proctor is a systems engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience translating complex technical problems into model-based systems engineering (MBSE) solutions for mission-critical aerospace and defense programs. Currently at SAIC, he documents and advances MBSE approaches for US Navy systems, pairing formal modeling with practical engineering judgment. His background spans experimental research in laser diagnostics, full-stack web services and PHP/Python tooling for enterprise environments, and early Rails development—giving him a rare mix of lab, backend, and systems-level perspectives. Patrick’s work often focuses on making future modeling efforts reproducible and maintainable, reflecting his knack for turning ad hoc processes into auditable engineering artifacts. Based in Bloomington, Indiana, he combines academic physics training with aerospace coursework from Purdue to bridge theory and applied systems design. Colleagues rely on him for disciplined systems thinking and pragmatic automation that reduces downstream risk.
