At Microsoft, program management can mean many different things, from release management to project management to product management to contract management and more. I am a feature Program Manager at Microsoft which means I’m responsible for working closely with a development team, a test team, and all cross-functional teams to deliver my targeted features into on-premises products or the online services. The key aspects of program management is understanding the market and opportunity, specifying features that you will drive into the product or services, project management of your features through their lifecycles and doing whatever it takes to make sure that you deliver high quality customer valuable features. I lead program management efforts related to the user interface for the Forefront Protection for Exchange and Forefront Protection for SharePoint on-premises products. In addition, I lead the efforts to move the in-cloud protection services from a legacy system into the new Microsoft Office 365 services. Some of my key accomplishments included:• Successfully created new Exchange Online Protection Portal in the Office 365 services replacing the legacy system minimizing any feature take-backs and seamless integration into the Office 365 service. • Drove the specifications and development of the new Exchange Online Protection Portal which included authentication, authorization, User Interface infrastructure, the new User Interface, and all equivalent functionality. This was all hosted out of a new datacenter.• Successfully released the Forefront Protection for Exchange and Forefront Protection for SharePoint on-premises products with new health monitoring, user interface and scalability functionality.

At HP I held multiple positions, starting from a Senior Software Engineer (200-2003), then becoming an R&D Engineering Manager (2003-2006), and finally taking on a Senior Program Management position (2006-2007). All my experience was in the HP OpenView software. Here are some of my accomplishments:• Collaborated with Cisco to define joint software business opportunities to capitalize on each company’s strengths that would yield a ROI greater than individually (1+1=3). • Managed the OEM relationship with Voyence to deliver an HP OpenView branded Network Configuration Manager product to round out the software portfolio. • Lead a team of 12 engineers to develop the next generation discovery architecture to support heterogeneous network equipment identification and classification in a highly parallel and extensible manner. This resulted in an approved patent “Robust Concurrent Multiple Decision Path Architecture” on 5/17/06. • Managed the HP OpenView software contracts, which included negotiating and signing contracts with Solid and Data Direct. Upon HP’s acquisition of Novadigm, successfully mitigated legal ramifications of royalty dispute and negotiated new contract saving HP over $1.4 million. • Instituted new device agent delivery process to improve support of new network devices off-cycle from product releases to meet customer needs which results in over $5 million in revenue. • Successfully worked with HP Lab to design, implement and deliver the first to market Multicast Management products (NNM Multicast 1.0 and NNM Multicast 2.0).• Designed and developed the topology services component for a first to market IPv6 management solution for the OpenView product suite. • Designed and implemented the first iteration of the next generation discovery architecture based on a highly parallel architecture

At Lockheed Martin I had a great opportunity to work on two main programs: Mission Management and Ground Control. I initially started on Mission Management and was one of the key technical leads taking this from raw customer requirements to implementation and delivery. However, because of key issues on Ground Control, which was to be delivered earlier, I was asked to lead that team to hit our contractual milestones. The technology, badge-less integration, and experience was truly amazing. Some of my key accomplishments during this time include:• Lead a team of 15 engineers, defining the software development process, performing requirements management, planning and scheduling, mentoring, designing and successfully deploying with customer sign-off. • Received Outstanding Achievement Award and bonus for high profile efforts in successfully delivering the Ground Control software product on-time and under tight deadline constraints. • Team lead for Mission Management product, taking a set of requirements and defining all necessary development and delivery process, designs, and leading a team to implement the final product. Trained engineers and lead all design and architectural decisions.

As a software engineer at Hughes I was part of the DCCS satellite communications software project. I developed the software in C++ using OOA/OOD techniques on primarily Unix based systems: HPUX, Solaris and DEC Alpha. I received an aware for meeting development goals on schedule under tight deadlines.

I designed and developed in C and C++ using OOA/OOD techniques a reusable set of software services for the UNIX operating system. These assets were used as a base application framework for all internal applications and consisted of everything from abstracting the message communications via sockets to abstracting shared memory constructs and providing centralized alerting and logging. The value proposition was tied to increased productivity of engineers doing the business logic and turn-around time for delivering integrated software components.
