technology initiatives. Managed multi-year budget implementations for projects exceeding $7M

per year and cross-functional teams of up to 25 developers, testers, analysts and subject matter

Achievement Highlights:

Led teams across broad technical, intelligence, and business disciplines. Focused teams

•

on objectives and tracked progress to ensure project milestones were completed on time,

on budget and with the desired results to maximize the USG ROI.

Mitigated risk factors through careful analysis of intelligence and statistical data.

•

Anticipated and managed change effectively in rapidly evolving war time environments.

Defined processes and tools best suited to each project. Chose between agile and

•

waterfall approaches depending on project specifics and stakeholder goals, creating

detailed project road maps, plans, schedules and work breakdown structures.

Honored with DIA’s “Director’s Award” in 2012 and 2013 in recognition of outstanding

•

team and project results.

Representative Projects (2003 to 2015)

Systems Engineering: Led design and implementation of multinational rollout of robust,

•

scalable, open source technologies supporting multiple organizations such as NATO,

Commonwealth partnerships, and bi-lateral agreements with specific nations.

Results: Completed releases were always ahead of schedule, and met budget.

Sustainment costs were negligible. The products were nationally recognized as superior

and the team was internationally recognized by NATO and forever changed the Human

Intelligence discipline.

Software Developments: Managed all phases of the software development lifecycle

•

(SDLC) for multiple solutions.

Results: Delivered community software that integrated into partner systems seamlessly

which saved the government and clients millions of dollars, shortened processes from

months to weeks and exposed client’s products to environments never before attained.

Cloud Technology Adoptions: Guided teams in the adoption of USG technologies being

•

used in client and data clouds across the Intelligence Community.

Results: Strategic outlook and planning cut costs to refactor tools and applications in the

cloud which saved over $3M in integration efforts in the subsequent two years. It also

significantly improved the Continuity of Operations and Disaster Recovery plans for the

affected systems.

System Integrations/Migrations: Project-managed large-scale initiatives involving the

•

transition of programs to new platforms and the merger of disparate systems underneath a

single Family of Systems umbrella.

Results: Achieved migration and integration of three different major applications that

were transparent to client customers, accomplished with no unscheduled downtime and

laid the foundation for the rest of the IT deliveries in the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Groundwork for Cloud Implementations: Wrote the first ever Statement of Work and

•

Implementation Plan for the initial roadmap of cloud based products.

Results: Broke ground within the HUMINT discipline to begin the transition to a cloud

environment as directed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Looked to

a “groundbreaker” in similarly unfamiliar territory.
