Profile
I have more than 25 years of business experience managing small
companies averaging 5 to 10 million dollars annual revenue, in
addition to my experience as an executive level manager of a company
whose annual revenues exceeded 100 million dollars. My skillful
leadership, project management, and team-building enable me to deliver
productive and profitable technological solutions. I attribute much of
this success to my comprehensive technical knowledge of the
Information Technology industry providing me the ability to design,
develop and implement technical solutions for complex projects.

Experience
LS Technologies, LLC Fairfax, Virginia
2009 - Present
Project Manager/LST Program Manager
My technical and managerial experience combined with an in-depth
expertise in all aspects of business application life cycles have
enabled me to save the Aviation Weather Center (AWC) 25 percent on the
overall cost of the IT architecture through tight integration into the
weather service's Internet architecture, while working to build a
compelling business case with management and NWS headquarters. We
accomplished this by the successful completion of the CAWS web
project; previously the AWC was not able to successfully complete this
work. This project provides the AWC with new funding sources from the
FAA. It will also allow the AWC to grow its web services because they
are now one of a few FAA QICP Certified government web sites. My
skills in project management, analysis, design, programming, and
training allowed me to complete this project on time and within
budget. The NWS acknowledged my contributions by selecting me NOAA
Team Member of the Month for September 2010. I have managed and made
significant technical contributions to the following AWC projects:
. The Consolidated Aviation Web Services (CAWS) web farms
(www.aviationweather.gov).
. The new web enabled International Flight Folder Document Program
(WebIFFDP).
. The Washington World Area Forecast Center (WAFC) Internet
replacement for the International Satellite Communications
System (ISCS) supporting the World Area Forecast System (WAFS)
named the WAFS Internet Files Services (WIFS).
. The design, development and implementation of the
infrastructure and programming changes required to meet the FAA
QICP Certification.
. The integration of the AWC web services into the NOAA WOC web
farms.
. The selection and implementation of the PHP ZEND Framework which
utilizes state of the art object oriented coding patterns and
principals.

I was initially employed to maintain the International Flight Folder
Document Program (IFFDP) FAX system. The AWC management recognized my
project management skills and requested I begin the eQICP Project.
This is an important and highly visible project enabling the AWC to
gain its required QICP Certification for FAA compliance and funding. I
became the eQICP Project Manager and wrote the project management plan
including writing several agreements between related government
agencies. AWC management boasts the eQICP Project Plan is the most
successful project they have seen in their careers. This project
includes combining all the current AWC web sites into a collective
referred to as the Consolidated Aviation Web Services (CAWS). In
addition I provide maintenance for the IFFDP Fax system while creating
project documentation and planning for future development of the AWC
IFFDP web enabled capability.
