In my last major assignment before leaving DMI, I led process and cultural change for an IT contract supporting a DoD organization. Work focused on standing up a PMO to improve project management processes and methodologies. Helping drive more effective and efficient communications with the customer was a key goal. The work also included managing the first ever full DR fail over for their information systems in support of a primary data center move. DR site had to be reconfigured and tested. Processes were changed and standardized.Previously, led team focusing on driving cultural and process change within a DHS organization. Specifically the work helped the organization turn from a reactive business with poor information for decision making into one that has a long-term plan and short term goals to achieve the plan. They are becoming able to react with confidence and see their mission better realized. To do this, we documented the current Financial Segment Architecture and the Human Capital Segment Architecture. This included researching and documenting the Laws, Regulations, Policies, and Procedures that govern their daily operations. We utilized IBM Rational System Architect and DOORS, DoDAF and BPMN standards, and iterative facilitated stakeholder reviews to validate our findings and achieve consensus on our efforts.Led analysis and solution design for Federal Railroad Administration's modernization of their railroad/highway crossing inventory.
