SUMMARY

With extensive experience in all aspects of program and project management, including real-time systems/software design, development, test, and integration, I am a valuable addition to any engineering or management team. Responsible at various times for all aspects of program and project development (including cost (earned value), customer liaison, subcontractor monitoring, engineering design, software design/implementation, hardware/software integration, test, documentation, and formal qualification/demonstration) I can help to insure that all of the technical, cost, and schedule objectives of any endeavor are met.

This extensive experience coupled with my educational training (with its emphasis on inter-personal and technical communications strategies), presents me with unique skills to form, join, or accent multi-disciplinary teams of individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds towards any purpose. My disciplined, structured style underlies a flexibility and adaptability which allows even the most unanticipated challenges to be dealt with successfully. (I can be found featured and quoted in the 1992 Grumman Annual Report.)

In my opinion, he is both an outstanding and intelligent engineer, and an outstanding manager, a combination that makes him an extraordinary asset for various types of technological development efforts.

As an engineer, John has an in-depth understanding of the technical details of primary radar and IFF detection, navigation, target tracking, and target reporting. He has the ability to effectively communicate these details, and to design and clearly specify novel approaches to enhance capabilities and solve problems.

As a manager, John innately understands the development process (both software and hardware), leading his teams in reaching their goals in a forthright and understandable manner. He communicates honestly with his management, always trying to optimize program direction. When leading the development of problem fixes and capability enhancements, he makes sure to involve teammates by leading discussions that result in solutions that are optimized for performance, customer expectations, schedule constraints, and cost constraints. He has an excellent rapport with customers, with the ability to clearly communicate the company’s positions, and listen to and understand the customer’s needs. Whenever I have been on one of his teams, he has always been well-involved, providing timely feedback and support, which is so important in accomplishing goals in a timely manner and maintaining team morale.

I believe that John would be great fit for any company. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any reason regarding John’s application. Yours truly,
