Project leadership and team management of large-scale programs including customer and supplier management responsibilities. System requirements definition and validation approach. Development process coordination and handoffs. System integration test support.

Unique background in system integration in combination with outstanding leadership skills creates strong synergy to effectively move projects from design through development and testing. Delivered cost projects for requests for proposals from external customers. Oversee cost account management activities, earn value strategies from conceptual design to execution. Head customer communications to corroborate customer expectations for interpretation of requirements into attainable program milestones, objectives and deliverables. Coordinated the work of drafters, technicians, designers, analysts, manufacturing engineers and others who assist in specific assignments.

My strong background in system performance analysis has established a solid core for system integration and optimization. Products in aerospace applications need to justify their existence in a vehicle in the form of quantifiable value. Therefore, the understanding of optimization in a system and at the vehicle level is critical. My work in this area has contributed to optimum component sizing requirements for the best integrated system performance. Consideration configuration boundaries for environmental control system, hydraulic systems and inerting systems at a conceptual level for various aircraft platforms: commercial and military (manned and unmanned). - System concept design and optimization with the use of mathematical models, planning of the development testing of the prototype hardware.- Plan, coordinate and conduct research testing in an integrated environment that included the power and thermal management system, virtual models of the aircraft environment and core functions of the vehicle management system. Activities also included driving facility maturation activities in preparation for the qualification test program (over 10,000 hours of experience as a test conductor).
