EXPERIENCE:

Sr. Systems Engineer

Confidential

I review new business cases and proposed recommendations with direction to achieve the State of Delaware's strategies, goals and visions in alignment with the portfolio. I manage system and application models for Delaware's Statewide IT portfolio. I provide gap analysis of Delaware's strategies and goals for existing ideals to become achievable and meaningful for the State's CIO strategic plan. I prepare Cloud solutions through efforts with GIC, SalesForce, JitterBit, SugarCRM, Office 365, Amazon.com, Okta, and others to mitigate risk and maximize opportunities and savings. I evolved the strategic plans and roadmaps to be aligned with actual State budget dollars and labor for IT. I identified deficient state business processes like inventory and asset management then provide road-maps to achieve an end-state to answer the process not being addressed to save millions of dollars. I supported and created State of DE governance, standards, and management charters that address processes, procedures, designs, in IT. I researched the need to standardize data and establish a project supporting MDM. This effort has led to identifying what a customer/constituent is so that the evolution of SaaS solutions and exploitation could be more effectively use in future states by establishing the source of truth for data via a MDM foundation. I architected a license management solution to provide a cost avoidance of over 5,000,000 per year with a faster and more efficient database infrastructure. Teamed up to establish a statewide ESB/Data-hub design and evaluated prototype COTS to facilitate data sharing across political boundaries. I created and presented key opportunities for the State of DE to maximize efficiencies and minimize costs. I identified potential partnerships with other states to meet federal requirements and provide millions in cost avoidances by minimizing dollars obligated towards projects in excess of over 60,000,000 by states creating parts of the solution versus a solution in its entirety. I engineered enterprise solutions to meet politically polarized situations between agencies with shared tools that provide independence and isolation where needed while establishing a footprint for future growth and additional cost savings. I negotiated an opportunity for the entire State Courts system to be modernized, migrated off the existing mainframe system and with an initial savings of over 5,000,000 by the third year plus additional budget opportunities of over 3,800,000 each following year because of reduced licenses, operations and maintenance costs. I helped establish processes in maintaining the statewide IT portfolio through tools like Planview, ServiceNow, Troux, and SharePoint.

Solutions Architect

Solutions architect for third iteration of the TSA ECR project that is to replace or re-image almost 25,000 devices worldwide. I created the deployment plan from previous inputs of other attempts, new discoveries and limitations given by the customer, and through due diligence. I provided the project the initial basis of estimate for the CSC component of the project that was integrated with the Dell proposal and presented to TSA for acceptance. I included in the BOE the assumptions, parameters for Q A to support the performance work statement and answer to TSA pre-award and post-execution. I also created the discovery method in collecting the required information and requirements to meet the needs in deploying almost 25,000 workstations worldwide. Because of the information collected was from multiple sources, I created a database that will help manage future CSC PMO TSA projects. The database initiated from the first revision TSA provided. I then augmented the database through various self-thought normalization techniques from about 15 other sources of similar information. After several passes manually to determine the set of standards to be followed, and establishing firm foundation of those standards for others to follow, automated updates were able to be created in support of continual discovery changes. One year temp-perm, perm cut position before moving forward.

Confidential

I worked from the bench on several proposal efforts developing solutions and editing existing work from other team members. I provided crisis management for NOAA during a database failure to derive liability, solutions for moving forward, and database recovery efforts. I also supported the SMARTS project at NGA as a systems administrator.

Network SME FUSION

As FUSION team's lead for Integrated Network Solutions team I conduct oversight for the Director of National Intelligence DNI CIO. Ensured requirements are met by Intelligence Community IC Elements and agencies. I developed standards, memorandums of agreement and understanding, executive level briefs, status reports, and other community products. I performed integration and collaboration duties between projects, working groups and agency leads. Enabled Mission networks to support information sharing and develop next-generation technologies to meet future mission requirements through oversight, governance, technical guidance, business process re-engineering and development. I initiated technical requirements collection to develop standards and technical specifications of common community concern for networks. Developed and delivered for approval the Intelligence Community Assigned Numbers Authority IC/ANA Executive Agency Agreement to the ODNI JDISS PMO. Submitted VoIP Standards to manage block number assignment and corresponding Technical Specifications documentation used under the common criteria network protocols, necessary to facilitate cross-agency communication and collaboration. Assessed business re-engineering of People-to-People P:P processes to maximize cross-agency collaboration with tools like Voice, Email, Chat/IM, VTC, VoIP, Security and other cross-domain services. The P:P effort was to initiate cost avoidance projects to consolidate services under the cloud model across the IC Elements. For Salient Federal Solutions I supported proposal initiatives in response to government re-compete efforts, request for quotes and information. I wrote and edited two white papers for understanding Cloud Computing, virtualization and on how to evolve the IC using limited funds, with existing architecture. This supported the customer's demand for more efficient computing while moving to the cloud effectively and without waste. Using conceptual designs aligned with Cloud computing and virtualization I created a multi-year, multi-enclave low-cost migration plan to IPv6. I was the Salient lead for the FUSION contract and oversaw twelve individuals.
