Columbia, Maryland, United States
I'm a Senior Program and Project Manager with 16+ years of end-to-end delivery ownership for federal government agency clients — managing complex, multi-tiered technology implementations from discovery through go-live and sustainment. Throughout my career I've served as the primary accountability owner for the FAA, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, U.S. Census Bureau, and NARA — coordinating matrixed delivery teams, navigating federal compliance requirements, and managing executive stakeholders across a $100M+ portfolio of concurrent programs. What sets my work apart: Security depth most PMs don't have — CISSP-certified, I've led a $30M+ IAM platform implementation (Okta, Active Directory, VMware Workspace ONE) for a federal client. I hold credible conversations with security architects, network engineers, and CISOs — and translate complex technical realities into executive decisions. AI and modern platform delivery — Currently leading Microsoft Copilot and Azure OpenAI implementations at the FAA while applying GenAI tools to accelerate governance deliverables. I work at the frontier of where federal IT is going. Governance excellence — CPARS-quality executive reporting, EVM, integrated master schedules, formal change control, RAID logs, and communications plans. My clients always know where we stand and why. Methodology flexibility — PMP + CSM certified. Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid delivery across 16 years. Jira, MS Project, Azure DevOps, Confluence. Open to Senior Program Manager / Senior Project Manager opportunities — remote preferred — in federal IT, cybersecurity, cloud, or IAM domains.
