About

Senior Technical Project Manager (PMP) with 13+ years leading high-complexity enterprise technology programs across federal and commercial environments. Trusted to deliver fixed-price and T&M engagements with full financial accountability, executive visibility, and structured governance oversight. I lead large-scale systems integrations, cloud migrations, and platform modernization initiatives from strategy through controlled go-live and stabilization. My experience includes multi-phase modernization programs exceeding $8M, enterprise OMS migrations, marketplace integrations, and cross-agency platform alignment within regulated environments. I operate confidently within phase-gated governance structures, milestone-based acceptance frameworks, and contract-driven delivery models. I own scope, schedule, budget, EAC forecasting, contractor scaling, and change governance — ensuring predictable delivery while protecting program margin and mitigating risk. In addition to program leadership, I maintain strong technical fluency across modern SaaS architectures, API integrations, cloud infrastructure, data migration strategies, and enterprise system design. With a background spanning product ownership, requirements governance, and executive stakeholder alignment, I bridge business objectives with practical technical execution across distributed, cross-functional teams. I leverage emerging automation and AI-assisted delivery tools to improve clarity, accelerate execution, and enhance decision-making within complex environments. I am most effective in environments where accountability, precision, and disciplined execution matter.
