Assist communities with technology continuity and recovery after catastrophic events.

I employed a skillset in cybersecurity to administer technical functions of the USAF command and control system. I displayed analytical qualities to assess all the engineering functions to spot any changes within the systems and their impact on cybersecurity functions. I preserved adherence to NIST Risk Management Framework and NIST SP 800-53. I carefully inspected all projects and system changes for cybersecurity measures and perform security impact assessments to gauge any negative impact. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬➥ Fulfilled the role of a representative for cybersecurity on the Technical Review Board. ➥ Employed eagle eye to identify significant cybersecurity vulnerabilities to create a plan to address variances.➥ Reduced risk resulting in the issuance of 3-year authority to operate (ATO) for system previously only issued 1-year ATOs

I delivered sound counsel to Government Engineering and Project Management teams regarding all facets of cybersecurity. I created cybersecurity documents, policies, procedures, and procedures. I studied the cybersecurity landscape to assess the impact on the program. I examined architecture, design, documentation, and security controls pertaining to compliance with program and government requirements, policies, and laws. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬➥ Maximized personal strengths to direct cybersecurity efforts for a $1.8B USAF foreign military sales contract. ➥ Pinpointed major bottlenecks in cybersecurity functions and partnered with appropriate stakeholders to rectify issues through contract adjustments saving on costs and schedules; located 14K hours of unnecessary in 1 of 2 major contracts. ➥ Increased resources by engineering multiple cybersecurity/RMF-related document templates for program use. ➥ Focused on results to lessen risks by implementing the NIST Risk Management Framework, SP 800-53, and SP 800-37. ➥ Improved the professionalism of project managers and systems engineers through comprehensive cybersecurity training. ➥ Traveled to integrator location to issue cybersecurity expertise at vital meetings. ➥ Devised cybersecurity SOW language for inclusion in multi-million-dollar RFPs, performed technical assessments of vendor proposals, and tactfully negotiated the cybersecurity portion of the contract.

I finetuned and retained the cybersecurity functions for ~40 US Air Force information systems. I created RMF documents and packages for submission for Authority to Operate. I reviewed and issued constructive feedback regarding RMF-related documentation, including security controls, ACAS scans, DISA STIGs, and contractor-provided material. I studied SOW and other RFP documentation, ensuring the inclusion of cybersecurity. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬➥ Respected subject matter expert on NIST Risk Management Framework, SP 800-53, SP 800-37, FEDRAMP, and FISMA.➥ Facilitated productivity growth by using social and emotional intelligence to interview and deliver recommendations for hiring qualified information system security engineers and managers; expanded team from 2 to 15 in ~6 months; mentored a group of 10 information system security engineers (ISSE) of different skill levels. ➥ Elevated efficiencies and slashed time to gather an Authority to Operate by months by creating different processes and templates for RMF artifacts.

I employed MS Project to create and maintain project schedules for AF projects. I allied with Engineering, Project Management, and Business Operations functions to comprehend specific projects' timing. I oversaw the Microsoft Project Server, ensuring people had the proper access to the server. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬➥ Learned and employed new skill in administering Microsoft Project Server. ➥ Increased understanding of the USAF acquisition process by completing Level 1 Program Manager Training at the Defense Acquisition University.
