I was selected for a position to be deputy tech volume lead to the Chief Engineer and Chief Architect for an international, firm-fixed price proposal in response to the Abu Dhabi Police for a GIS Center of Excellence. The Lockheed Martin team, consisting of 6 partner companies was down-selected to the next stage. I assisted in the shaping of our technical solution, authored/edited proposal sections, managed teammates and influenced our win strategy. I managed a 1000+ requirement traceability matrix, a $26M Bill of Materials and a shrinking Design to Cost (DTC) window that impacted our technical solution. I performed as the direct interface to Subcontract Management (SCM), Global Supply Chain Management (GSCM) and Finance for the proposal.

I was hired directly into Lockheed Martin's three-year, competitive, corporate-wide, rotational program created for the company’s highest potential, early career employees. During this program, I maximized the rotational opportunities to gain experience in Project Management, Software Development, Business Development, Systems Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Cybersecurity and Research & Development. I worked at eight campuses, including Headquarters, and crossed Business Areas, Product Lines, and Geographic locations. These experiences gave me an unparalleled breadth of defense industry business operations and allowed me to demonstrate the propensity to learn quickly and lead naturally, by stretching into leadership positions in areas where I had little to no experience.

I was requested to become a member of a corporate funded ‘Tiger Team’ for a quick turnaround, customer experiment in Yuma, AZ to integrate MONAX and a Persistent Threat Detection System (PTDS) aerostat to provide a private, secure, 3G cellular network for the warfighter while advocating its ease of mobility. I collaborated in a high pressure environment with SMEs and LM Fellows to solve RF challenges discovered prior to our customer demos. I quickly learned and created AGI STK models to simulate our demonstrations and provide flexible coverage maps that were shared with our customer during the demos. I created and advocated an autonomous testing configuration that plotted our measured results with a Google Earth (KML) in near real-time.

While working for the Enterprise Integration Group (EIG), Lockheed Martin divested the organization (announcement in Jun 2010 and sale in Oct 2010) due to Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) concerns. While working for EIG, I assisted in the shaping of two emerging markets- Human Terrain (HT) and Non-Traditional ISR (NT-ISR). Through this competitive opportunity, I developed an understanding of the entire DoD/IC structure and their Acquisition Process to analyze the various branches/departments Integrated Priority Lists (IPLs) and Joint Urgent Operations Needs (JUONs) to strengthen our technology's value proposition. I shaped a $20M Joint Capabilities Technology Demonstration (JCTD) for an NT-ISR SIGINT collector on an Apache Block III Helicopter. I was the lead for Human Terrain Market Assessment, Opportunity tracking, Black Hat Competitive Assessment, and Patent Management. In addition I also used my technical background to contribute to the SKOOP & WISDOM projects by providing support for Systems Architecture, Integration, Linear Regression Model Design, Software Development, and Database Administration.

I was selected for a competitive rotation to be a technical assistant to the director of Research & Development in Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Technology Office (similar to Skunk Works, but for Software and IT). I assisted with the management of the $100M R&D portfolio that included: IRAD, CRAD, Shared Vision Projects with National Labs, Corporate Pathfinders, and Technical Information Interchanges with Industry. I maintained the Financial Baseline, participated in Monthly Planning Reviews, coordinated Deep Dives, supported annual Strategic Planning Activities, analyzed the proposed IRAD Return on Investment (ROI), represented Lockheed Martin at company/industry conferences, and developed the Technology Investment Plan. I assisted the Technology Transition activities aimed at shifting valuable R&D capabilities onto Programs of Record through several efforts including proposal support, demo coordination, CRAD opportunity exploitation, and initiating connections between people, ideas and opportunities across the corporation. I presented the topics and drove the adoption of tools to promote collaboration across IS&GS through innovation tournaments and open innovation activities, the result of which became a company-wide open innovation platform.

I learned early the importance of hard work, time management, and dedication. I started working a second job after my sophomore year in high school (I had a part-time job during school in addition to this position). By my fourth summer, at the age of 19, I was asked to manage the paint crew while home from college for the summer. In this position, I managed an 8 person paint crew and was in charge of task assignments, job estimation, new employee education, and cost/schedule management. I gained early management experience and was able to apply my experience to a successful entrepreneurial idea. I started promoting myself for painting side-jobs and learned for a second time that I could make good money by providing services from the knowledge that I had (my first experience was building computers and selling them).
