Objectives
Utilize my experiences and skills in seeking employment in program management,
project/product management for developments, acquisitions, and engineering services,
Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V), technical contract management, system
engineering, system integration, and system testing areas.
Executive Summary
I possess vast experience in program and project management with a track record of success on
programs and projects with varying levels of complexity. I have a history of gathering
stakeholders’ requirements and implementing the requirements to achieve stakeholders’ desired
product(s). I hold a lengthy and successful history of monitoring program cost, schedule, and
technical capabilities daily to immediately identify risks and/or opportunities as they arise, and to
develop plans to avoid or minimize risks and/or achieve or maximize opportunities. I raise
risks/opportunities to stakeholders with a suggested plan of action as soon as possible. I have
exceptional briefing and presentation skills to inform stakeholder(s) of program status and
address any issue(s), tailored to each stakeholder’s needs. During my thirteen years as a
Program Manager with the Intelligence Community (IC) specifically the CIA and the NRO, I
routinely prepared documents and presentations, as well as, briefed senior IC leadership on
programs I managed. In addition to Program Management, I preformed Independent
Verification and Validation (IV&V) for thirteen years on different programs with varying
degrees of complexity depending on the program, such as preforming IV&V on a low
complexity project that exploits cellular data prior final acceptance by the government; as well as
leading a team of thirty people performing IV&V on a Geospatial Satellites from delivery to
launch and initiation. I led remediation team(s) to address and correct testing deficiencies for
eight years on programs that ranged from low to very high complexity levels, that I was the
Program Manager or on the IV&V team as a leader or member.

Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Directorate of Science & Technology (DS&T)
Office of Public Affairs, Washington, DC 20505
Project Management Engineering August 2002 to October 2015
National Reconnaissance Office (NRO)
CIA, DS&T; detailed to the NRO
Office of Public Affairs, Chantilly, VA
Project Management Engineer March 2013 to October 2015
Program Management (PM), Project Management, Product Management, Technical Contract
Management, System Engineering (SE), and System Integration (SI)
 Provided program management, SE, and SI, leading multiple teams of fifty plus personal
in integrating a node of the Director of National Intelligence’s (DNI) and the CIA’s
Commercial Cloud System (C2S) for the Intelligence Community (IC) at a NRO ground
station facility (GSF) for the IC cloud designed by Amazon. I started and led a
remediation team to address deficient completion date that improved schedule
completion date.
o This development will allow greater collaboration and sharing of data within the
IC and allow the IC to make timelier and more accurate intelligence decisions.
o My actions as the PM saved the government $1.1M and prevented major delays.
 Performed IV&V for the many different stakeholder’s requirements at the Federal, State,
Local, DNI, CIA, NRO, Customer, User, Department of Army to maintain all necessary
requirements are met when all stakeholders requirements are combined for the
AWS/C2S/IC node at ADFE.
 Represented senior NRO management at C2S’s milestone control gates.
o I ensured NRO’s equities were represented at these milestone control gates.
 Provided technical representation and management for a contract competition for a new
system engineering and integration (SE&I) services contract for the NRO’s GSFs.
o This will allow for more efficient and innovative SE&I services for the NRO.
 Provided program management, system engineering, system integration, IV&V testing,
and leadership over a team of twenty personal for the delivery activities to launch and
initialization (L&I) activities for image intelligence satellites.
o The IV&V team discovered a flaw in the ground components and network that
would have delayed L&I. This discovery allowed for the ground components
and network to be addressed before L&I saving $1M to $3M per day if L&I were
delayed from its schedule date.
 Provided program management, system engineering, system integration, and leadership
over fifteen personal for the communications & information technology portfolio and the
facilities portfolio at a NRO GSF.
o The team(s)’ actions ensured continuation of daily operations at a NRO GSF.

 Provided program management, system engineering, system integration, IV&V testing,
and leadership over a team of five personal for the development activities to delivery
activities for communication intelligence satellites.
o Leading a team of five, I provided system engineering (SE) and IV&V reviews of
readiness development milestones for communication satellite systems, and
provided recommendations to the decision authority (DA).
o The IV&V team discovered a flaw in design during review that allowed for
corrective action to be performed saving potential $1M to $2M that would have
been needed later in the development process.
o The recommendations allowed the DA to make more informed decisions.
 Provided technical management of a system engineering personal services contract.
o The contract provided the SE resources, which ensured the necessary evaluation
and recommendations needed for the office’s continued mission success.
 Provided technical management of an administrative personal services contract.
