What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply program governance, data architecture, Power Platform, security authorization, and technical writing to complex enterprise outcomes.

I work in governance, data, and low-code solutions for federal and transit-sector organizations spanning workforce statistics, public transportation, currency production, tax administration, health research, and defense.

In one enterprise engagement, I was responsible for securing IT authorization for a Power Platform deployment across 14 operating divisions, designing its governance data schema, and automating controls to replace manual oversight. I also contributed to a Zero Trust Architecture transformation and a multi-tier CI/CD pipeline prototype.

For a transit data warehousing initiative, I was responsible for the database architecture and data-governance model, including row-level security. The validation controls I introduced reduced manual processing steps by more than 80 percent, supported by fifteen training sessions delivered to up to 200 users.

I am currently developing a GDPR-conscious public data-collection and analytics platform, using Power Automate, Dataverse, Power BI, and a custom React front end. My work brings together program governance, data architecture, security authorization, technical documentation, and executive reporting.
