I joined Comcast as a Program Manager having performed project management duties at Ametek Aerospace. At that time, Comcast was just migrating to Scrum project management methodology. I worked with the VP of Program Management to implement the transition and worked closely with the engineering department during this transition. During the first two years, I was managing communications internally and externally with many stakeholders as well as performing the role of Scrum Master for six development teams. Duties included many meetings, presentations, planning, and executing the plan.After several Engineers left the company, I saw an opportunity to enhance my technical skills and transitioned to Principle Engineer on JAVA based projects. For the next two years, I was the support engineer for the project that had been the PM. Besides becoming familiar with all aspects of the TV navigator functionality, I became the SME for the Switched Digital Video feature which was used to reclaim unused bandwidth. As that program completed, I transition to the next version of the TV navigator and was responsible for application and middle ware software. For the next assignment I was asked to work on the lower level stack software that interfaced with the firmware.In summary, I have worked in JAVA, C++ and C code during my tenure with Comcast, as well performed Program Management duties.
