• As Program Manager and Lead Engineer, managed geographically diverse, multi-disciplinary teams in the highly successful software product development, testing, certification, delivery, and post-delivery support of an FAA Capital Investment Program called the Aeronautical Information System (AIS) Production Workflow System (APWS). The APWS system supports FAA NextGen Initiatives to improve Performance Based Navigation procedures to increase safety and aircraft separation. APWS is the central interface and highly complex governing, time-slicing brains for 11 independent aeronautical information systems that, all together, dramatically enhance FAA senior manager oversight and direct control to establish and change Instrumented Flight Procedures (IFPs) for US airports and metroplexes.• In the management and delivery of the APWS system, navigated differences in product vision and prioritization conflicts amongst managers, independent test experts, stakeholders, and users; successfully and rapidly mitigated programmatic and technical issues and risks outside the teams’ control delivering APWS on-schedule and within carefully orchestrated management reserve budget limitations. Additional enhanced operational capabilities were identified as desirable through the Agile software process; APWS was delivered fully operational with all required and desired capabilities far exceeding expectations of stakeholders and users.• Senior systems engineer advising program managers, stakeholders, and users in the life-cycle engineering development and sustainment of multiple legacy FAA aeronautical systems that deliver internal FAA services, public facing services, and authoritative aeronautical information to FAA managers, pilots and crew, and air traffic controllers across the US.
