- Led a cross-functional team of 4 software engineers and 3 systems engineers throughout Agile events such as PI Planning, Sprint Retrospectives, etc.- Utilized the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) to define, plan, and execute the ILVC team’s work for each 10 week Program Increment (PI).-Improved the efficiency and effectiveness of the ILVC team’s Agile ceremonies by ~80% and greatly improved morale associated with the PI Planning event.- Created and delivered presentations about our software, it’s target market, the value proposition to the customer, active risks, etc. to executive leadership, parent organization, and finance focal.

- Served as lead software integrator for the ILVC team and spearheaded integration of their software into multiple new and untested software environments like Windows 10 SHB, RedHat 7, i-7 6U embedded board (flight processor), etc.- Utilized C++ to independently aid in the implementation and maintenance of cross-platform software models- Created and maintained the ILVC team’s CI/CD system with the use of Jenkins and Python.- Generated 16 hours of engineering labor savings on each of the ILVC team’s software releases due to efficiencies gained by eliminating rework.- Scoped work which would need to be done in the following fiscal year for the purposes of deriving yearly budget requests
