United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a PMP-, RMP-, and Agile-certified project manager with an M.S. in Engineering Management and a Public Trust clearance. I lead PMO functions and manage large-scale, multi-domain projects across federal and private sectors.
My work emphasizes data-driven decision-making: I produce executive dashboards, variance analyses, and portfolio-level reporting using Power BI and Tableau to inform leadership and improve performance.
I have hands-on experience delivering IT, analytics, logistics, and construction-related programs using Agile and hybrid SDLC, running PPM tools such as Jira and Monday.com, and managing schedule and cost through Primavera P6, MS Project, and EVMS.
I mentor project managers, define PMO governance, and support proposal and staffing strategies, consistently improving delivery discipline, reducing costs, and driving operational outcomes.
