MS in Systems Engineering with concentration in operations research, strategic planning, and Enterprise Systems (SDLC ) development.

BS in Computer Information Systems with focus on software engineering, database creation and administration, and computer networks.

• Developed operational analyses (battlespace, economic, strategic aspects), program schedules, and cost estimates for Grumman C2-A Greyhound modernization program proposal to U.S. Navy.
• Worked with Fight controls simulation team in developing baseline E2D control surfaces software release.
• Served as project manager (cost account manager) for Northrop repair and engineering teams supporting subcontractor (Crane Aerospace) and the U.S. Navy supplying components and test data for the C2A anti-skid braking system including BOM, test procedures, and test reports for flight readiness review, and onsite system installation by Northrop engineering prior to delivery to U.S. Navy/ NAVAIR ( 8.5 million dollar aircraft modification project for the C2-A Greyhound cargo aircraft).
• Managed Engineering Mylar 3D Modeling project engineering drawing conversion to digital format) resulting in a digital drawing and specification database for the C-2A Greyhound aircraft fuselage frames, interior panels, and avionics. This effort reduced the cost and increased availability of C-2A design data to manufacturing groups. Managed $295,500.00 project budget.

• Developed/Implemented NASA KSC and agency level IT/Engineering/Mission systems architecture analysis and definition in the CASEWISE tool resulting in a standard System of systems to subsystem level architecture model that was used in agency financial and technical decision analyses.

• Developed and implemented NASA Ground Systems Development Program system and data enterprise architecture solution. This greatly facilitated intra-program and external program data exchange through implementation of a structure that mapped NASA authoritative database sources between centers using xml and data link architectures. Created and enacted tool and engineering policies using vertical and horizontal integration throughout the 88 ground subsystem development teams. Served as system architecture and requirements tools/technology portfolio manager with 27 functional and 6 direct reports.

• Led Tool acquisition trade study for the new 21st Century Ground Systems Program that resulted in source selection of NASA federated tool set for requirements management (based on IT and engineering BOE estimates) saving the program 3.5 million dollars in unnecessary acquisition costs and personnel alignment for future engineering development.

• Served as principal system architect/ administrator for the Cradle requirements management/systems engineering tool set (Led team of 4 database administrators). Developed data architecture that reduced design data volume (from 4457 requirements to 1584 total) and milestone review product generation and processing by 65%.
