• Integrate DevOps tooling to enable customers to implement continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) business processes. Utilize Infrastructure as Code approaches (AWS CloudFormation/Bash Scripts) to rapidly deploy DevOps pipeline tooling and auto-recover in the event of a catastrophic failure. Utilize Continuous Integration Server (Jenkins) to facilitate tool deployment. Utilize JIRA and Confluence for agile management task and Git for Source Code Management. • Assist customers in developing strategies, processes, governance and policies that will enable DevOps best practices. • Assist customers with transitioning applications and services from legacy data centers to Amazon Web Services (AWS). • Facilitate the process of developing Security artifacts for new AWS services integrated into Commercial Cloud Services (C2S).• Leading an internal effort to embrace Documentation as Code.

• Identified initial metrics for measuring the benefits of DevOps vs traditional software approaches. • Facilitated a DevOps working group with members from all the Intelligence Community agencies. • Led agile development teams of 6-10 developers each utilizing the Scaled Agile Framework.• Modernized infrastructure approaches away from full stack development by adopting Platform as a Service. • Facilitated migration of legacy R&D projects into Amazon Web Services by working with development teams to refactor legacy applications and services to be cloud native.• Led a team of system administrators in the maintenance of the Agency’s Research and Development infrastructure. • Integrated new types of imagery data into legacy workflows in a six-month timeframe vice the standard 18-24 month time line.• Led a team of 10 systems engineers and 8 systems integrators in the integration of commercial imagery data.

As the NGA Liaison Officer at Marine Corps Systems Command, I was the face of NGA and responsible for the GEOINT functional management role by ensuring that GEOINT systems requirement were vetted and GEOINT standards are adhered to for the various development efforts within the Marine Corps. This role required me to be extremely knowledgeable of the Agency's mission and products and also be flexible enough to understand the mission of the Marines and how our solutions could supplement that mission. I had to be proactive in learning new technologies in order to stay ahead of new projects and changes in mission requirements. During this time I utilized my leadership and communication skills to exposed numerous existing and emerging systems and services to MARCORSYSCOM leadership. This included Research and Development (R&D) capabilities from within NGA that could be rapidly fielded by the Marines or effforts where NGA and the Marines could collaborate. This saved the Marines millions of dollars and countless months of development time by utilizing existing capability.

I was responsible for leading a diverse team in the end to end systems engineering and integration activities for commercial airborne imagery, commercial radar data, and the direct dissemination of commercial imagery and data to our most critical customers. I collaborated with community partners to establish joint solutions. I partnered with government partners and academia to support the Deep Water Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. I managed budget, requirements, schedules, external vendors relationships, and stakeholder expectations. I am proficient in the Microsoft Office Suite and knowledgable of Microsoft Project. I utilized my leadership, networking and communication skills to challenge existing processes within NGA to deploy new capabilities within 6 months vice the standard 12-18 month timelines.

• Led a diverse team of engineers and developers responsible for the development, deployment and maintenance of a Geospatial Intelligence testbed. These testbeds were successfully deployed worldwide in support of warfighters during Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and for natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina. • Assisted development teams with Graphical User Interface (GUI) design and development utilizing Java Swing.

• Led an Imagery Analysis Team, consisting of 12 sailors, for the Theodore Roosevelt Battle Group in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. • Sought leadership opportunities throughout my career and was known for my ability to build high performing teams.• Challenged the status quo by discovering new, efficient methods to accomplish task and better utilize people and their skills.• Established leadership philosophy of understanding the people around me, motivating them, and utilizing them to the best of their abilities. • Analyzed national and tactical imagery in support of national security.• Built test plans for evaluation of a new tactical sensor (ATARS).• Administered Unix based exploitation systems.
