Captured requirements relevant to the customer's business cycle, communicated with operations personnel and the software development team. Ensured mission and business milestones were met. Supported boards with joint intelligence community systems/missions focused on organizational architecture and mission operation areas. Act as lead or assist leads working multiple projects, independently or on engineering teams. Perform analysis involving; technical planning, system integration, verification, validation, cost, risk, supportability, and effectiveness of end-to-end systems. Kept deliverables on technical, schedule, and cost items. Executed functional and time line analysis, detailed trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies. I also participated on successful proposal efforts. Show less

I was an initial member of a government agency’s Business Continuity and Information Technology Disaster Recovery (ITDR) project team, reporting to the agency’s director. The team’s directive was to create policies and testable plans, usable in the agency’s continuity of operations processes (COOP) and to demonstrate the functionality to the intelligence community. In addition to drafting portions of the guidance documents (presently in use), I oversaw four ITDR projects, employing a $5 million… Show more I was an initial member of a government agency’s Business Continuity and Information Technology Disaster Recovery (ITDR) project team, reporting to the agency’s director. The team’s directive was to create policies and testable plans, usable in the agency’s continuity of operations processes (COOP) and to demonstrate the functionality to the intelligence community. In addition to drafting portions of the guidance documents (presently in use), I oversaw four ITDR projects, employing a $5 million budget. Execution of this support involved; providing systems analysis, requirements definition, advising client offices on optimal solutions, budget tracking, MOU/MOA drafting, coordinating procurement and installation of subsystems, and providing COOP training and exercise support to agency offices. During my tenure, I participated in the re-competition proposal effort, and the subsequent award of our contract. Show less
