Provide Level of Effort (LoE) support for the MCC21 Project Facility Management Subsystem. Requirements definition, operations concept development and changes to baselines for designs to development and impact to operations. Reviews for implementation to the next generation Manned Space Flight Mission Control Center. The highly trusted -Level of Effort(LOE) role to the NASA, has me and a team defining management systems and supporting services for the next generation manned control center (MCC) at the NASA JSC. Defining: requirements, changes to baselines for designs and implementation, testing and development oversight. Investigating the use of new standards and best practices in the use of newer technologies and methods for control and feedback/status of facilities resources in the management of systems at the JSC Manned Mission Control SystemProvided PoC interface with venders for Intelligent dashboards, and ITIL tools Trade Studies for IT management. Developed tests and methods for testing multiple functionalities independently from operations in stand-alone labs. Demonstrated and trained operations personnel in the vender studies and received feedback on vender performance against capability criteria. Provide evaluation build-up against criteria for NASA to make final decisions.

Managed the Common Software (CSW) requirements, interfaces, project and assets for software and systems functions to the FDOC contract out of the SPOC contract. Oversaw the operations, software development and maintenance to end shuttle services and safe those CSW functions supporting the space station development and operations. Managed a custom GRID (managed compute farm) complex, providing engineering services and configurations to support increasing use for flight analysis tasks and the development of more significant statistical base for analysis decision making. Orchestrated strategic technology insertions in both custom software and also via Open Source Software(FOSS). Evaluated the impact of new technologies to systems and services from the user and developer perspectives. Participated in all Life Cycle development phases.Performed planning, development coordination and baseline management and change management for 47 custom software configuration items, 32 Open Source Software configuration items and across 6 platform architectures for user environments.

Common Software (CSW) Principal Engineer for USA Support to Mission Operation Directorate (MOD). Performed Project management for development. Performed integration engineering management across user communities for change management into 6 platforms. Supported over 300 users on any day, spanning the spectrum of software user types. e.g. (general users, specialized users, developers, administrators)Led technology insertion planning into the core tools serving the Common Software (CSW) discipline, with visionary support for the large overall user community of MOD, all within a structure of reducing budgets. The CSW inventories comprised of Custom, COTS and OSS configurations, serving hundreds of users. These users were in the development functions as well as in support of the Plan, Train and Fly functions for Manned Space Flight for the MOD. Developed the DISCO system for distributing jobs to slightly used compute resources. Proofed techniques and processes and expanded to a managed GRID.Responded to subcontract management requests with contractors for their development roles. Oversaw multiple subcontractor change overs. Provided technical direction to subcontractor personnel. Performed direction to procurement for commercial tools and support acquired outside the company. Provided technical and managerial direction to subcontracts and contracts development and changes. As Principal Engineer for CSW I consistently delivered increased capabilities, highly used assets, strategically bridging and serving middle-ware functionalities as well as end-roles. CSW serves to reduce time to develop, deploy, and operate better quality capabilities. The use of CSW fundamentally gathers people and tasks to use standard methods, solving unique problems for Manned Spaceflight.
