I managed 10 Technical Consultants that lead our implementation work-streams for data conversion, reports, integrations, and scripts. Additionally, I managed the Add-On Segment of Accela Delivery. The Add-On segment works with our existing customers to add new products/functionality or enhance current functionality. I oversaw a yearly portfolio of 40+ projects, responsible for delivering on key performance metrics based on monthly billings and revenue forecasts. I serve as primary escalation contact for client concerns. I supervised a team of consultants and project managers.I develop the Delivery pipeline, working closely with sales to provide Statements of Work and pricing for proposed projects.As Technical Project Manager I managed the implementation of on-premise and cloud hosted software implementation projects of varying size, budget, and complexity.

Home Based

As Technical Project Manager I managed the implementation of on-premise and cloud hosted software implementation projects of varying size, budget, and complexity. Working in the Add-On segment of Accela Professional Services I have been exposed to a multitude of Accela products. I managed 11 projects my first year with a total projected revenue of almost $500K. In my second year, I have managed 18 projects with a total projected revenue over $1M. I increased my utilization from about 40% my first year to about 75% my second year by broadening my skillset with Accela Civic Platform configuration tasks. I accomplished this increase by self-teaching on Accela's core products - Automation, Citizen Access, AGIS, and AEDR. In addition to my Project Management responsibilities, I assist with drafting Statements of Work and pricing for new projects. I then often managed those projects to completion. I also prepared RFP responses and their associated past performance and pricing.To summarize a few of my projects:I have successfully managed the implementation of 7 Accela Electronic Document Review (EDR + Adobe Acrobat Pro) projects in 2 years. I am currently managing and configuring Accela Professional Services first two EDR+ePlanCheck projects. Almost all of the the EDR projects included implementation of Accela Citizen Access online applications. I have managed 2 projects that utilized the Accela Construct API. I am currently Scrum Master on one of the first Agile-Scrum projects for Accela Professional Services.

ArdentMC gave me an assortment of opportunities to grow as an IT professional and manager. I embraced each new challenge and was proactive in seeking new responsibilities.- Serves as the IT Project Manager supporting content and design requirements for an enterprise SharePoint system- Serves as the IT Project Manager and Scrum Product Owner supporting the development of a geofencing application - Serves as the IT Project Manager supporting data center consolidation efforts for three Department of Homeland Security (DHS) systems- Serves as the Scrum Master supporting the DHS Geospatial Management Office (GMO) enterprise GIS architecture- Served as the IT Project Manager providing Geospatial Support Services to the National Infrastructure Coordinating Center (NICC) in the DHS National Preparedness and Protection Directorate (NPPD)- Served as IT Project Manager for an information sharing project that enabled the sharing of XML information packages across three disparate systems in DHS that created a unique and successful architecture to share suspicious activity reporting information.

While I was gaining valuable experience as an IT Program Manager for the Army National Guard, I saw the Air National Guard running a similar program in a more process driven manner. I felt it was best for my career to learn from this approach.I was assigned to support the Air National Guard’s Installations and Mission Support Directorate (NGB/A7) as an on-site strategic partner, working in the Air National Guard (ANG) Geo Integration Office. I gathered and analyzed geospatial requirements for all NGB/A7 program areas. I aligned these requirements to the ANG requirements architecture which was developed based upon the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) reference models. I created policy and guidance for ANG Installation Geospatial Information and Services (IGI&S) that had to align with NGB/A7 and ANG IT policies. This includes but is not limited to, documentation for geospatial data development/modification, metadata, deliverables and workflows. I wrote data quality assurance plans for data specifically related to NGB/A7 program areas. I integrated geospatial technology with all NGB/A7 program areas which consists of real property, natural resources, cultural resources, planning, construction, security, emergency management, and environmental planning. I provided technical guidance to NGB/A7 on business process improvements, asset management, communication improvements, and alignment with other ANG directorate initiatives effecting installation support. I reviewed and then integrated geospatial data into visualization products.

I was assigned through the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) with Colorado State University to manage the Environmental Division of the Army National Guard (ARNG) GIS Program. The IPA status empowered me to execute the duties of a Federal Government employee. Having this opportunity accelerated my ability to gain sufficient knowledge of managing an IT investment and GIS program for the government. I aligned the NGB-ARE IT investment to conform to the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DODAF). I supervised four contract teams, developed a budget, communicated priority, managed compliance to IT policies and collaborated with multiple technical teams. I executed a multi-million dollar annual budget with multiple contracts, containing numerous task orders, which supported GIS requirements for the National Guard Bureau – Environmental Division (NGB-ARE). I represented NGB-ARE to Army and ARNG senior leadership in matters related to GIS. I coordinated the Common Installation Picture (CIP) initiative to manage, aggregate and catalog the geospatial data from the 54 States, Territories and District of Columbia to meet federal data requirements. I managed the software portfolio of hundreds of ESRI software assets for NGB and the 54 States, Territories, and District of Columbia. I established ARNG GIS data requirements in conjunction with SDSFIE 2.6 data model, including building data quality assurance plans. I communicated with state/territory personnel and Department of Army to provide National Guard Bureau GIS policy and guidance. I coordinated the Aerial Imagery Acquisition Program for 140 ARNG Training Sites for a prioritized annual refresh of raster data.

What appealed to me about this position is an opportunity to get back to my undergraduate roots of applying GIS to environmental protection and compliance policies. I integrated GIS into the technical and business processes of the entire organization. I facilitated map production for Environmental Division staff.

As the first person to staff this new position for the city I had to integrate myself with the staff and culture. I knew how to use the GIS technology,though incorporating it into the culture of the staff was a new endeavor and took a concerted effort to communicate the benefits of the technology for multiple departments. Under the the keen mentoring of the GIS Administrator, we set out to establish an enterprise GIS system and tie it to business systems and processes that the city relied upon to conduct their business. - Primary responsibility consisted of creating and maintaining the utility features, such as water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer in GIS utilizing ArcInfo- Created customized mapping applications using .Net and Map Objects LT for field personnel to locate hydrants with their laptops while disconnected from the city network- Used Trimble 5700 GPS equipment to locate utility structures located throughout the city and then integrated the points into the enterprise GIS database and Hansen Asset Management software - Incorporated Hansen Asset Management software into the daily activities of the Public Works and Engineering departments- Established and maintained better communication between departments. Acted as a technical liason between many departments in particular IT, Engineeering, and DPW- Generated custom maps for City staff and the public
