Gwennie Furr
Software Engineer
One year at NNS

“I strive to use computers to help people make their lives more efficient. Previously, I worked on Navy, NASA and 911 projects. My group works with automated controls, and I have seen firsthand how these controllers work for both aircraft carrier and submarine-related systems. Having an active duty Navy family member makes my shipyard job meaningful. I’m also an engagement champion for my engineering division, and I enjoy opportunities to build relationships and strengthen our shipyard from within.”
