Selected key Accomplishments[pic]
. Received Airman of the month award (April 2010) for successfully
supervising multiple project teams to maximize performance on delivery of
12 complex projects involving specialized electrical systems, complex
mechanical systems, and unique structural requirements. RESULTS:
consistently completed construction projects with budgets over $3.5
million affecting 15,000 personnel on time and within budget in a fast-
paced, time-sensitive environment requiring superior planning,
organization, and leadership skills.
. Received Airman of the Quarter award (October - December 2010) award for
exemplary community service, showing ability to assess, manage risks and
strategically make critical and timely decisions in difficult, risky or
ambiguous situations providing win-win solutions for all stakeholders,
while concurrently committed to continual learning by pursuing a demanding
professional self-development degree. RESULTS: Graduated top 10 of class
with 3.91/4.0 GPA.
. Identified a lack of design consistency in contractor's construction
drawing design packages. Evaluated, developed a discrepancy tracking
database and reengineered flawed floor plan drawings .RESULT: Saved
government $15,000 in contractor fees by designing correct drawing of the
EMS Building, further illustrating problem solving skills and great
attention to detail.
. Led the design, development, and implementation of a broad range of
processes to upgrade virtual vault and migrated more than 1,000 record
drawings. RESULTS: Newly standardized data storage process, up to date
system practices that facilitated delivery of consistent, superior service
and streamlined workflow. Proficiently transitioned more than 400 building
floor plans to new format and guaranteed preservation of historical
records.
. Directed the collection and organization of GIS data sets through field
work for generator locations around the Langley base. RESULTS: Improved
the identification for 65 generators and boosted shop productivity by 15%.
Earned a stellar reputation for technical expertise, including key
recognition from the security forces commander.
. Responsible for Air Power over Hampton Roads show supporting 188,000
guests. Surveyed geographic datasets, designed, developed accurate layout.
RESULTS: Successfully launched the 2009 Air Show map using ArcGIS.
