I deliver complex government software programs, aligning customers, engineering teams, scope, budgets, and schedules.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Boeing, I delivered Apache aviation-training software for the U.S. Army across three concurrent programs and a $25M+ portfolio.
I co-developed statements of work with government customers, negotiated scope to match capacity, coordinated subcontractors, and tracked budgets, resources, risks, milestones, and dependencies.
I rescued an $8M R&D program that was 6–8 months late and 30% over budget, renegotiating scope and rebuilding the plan to deliver on time and on budget within 12 months.
I've also owned product backlogs for a 25-person Agile team, developed C++ and Ada flight-simulation software, and built Kierland Salon Suites to sustained full occupancy with 158% revenue growth.
