Lol, yes a rocket scientist (in a way). I designed equipment and antennas for military, weather, scientific and TV satellites.
As to the military angle, when I was last working in Naypyitaw, I designed and started to build a small, academic'Cubesat' on my kitchen table - small satellites like these are rather easy to build... here is the (defunct) link to my website at the time.

This little bird was going to transmit images of famous Myanmar sites (Shwedagon Pagoda etc) down to earth - a purely educational project.
All was going wonderfully until I got a visit from 'the military', who were very friendly and asked if I could help them to build a satellite!
So I decided to put that Cubesat on the back-burner for a while...
