Marcela Gray
@marcelagray
I translate federal program needs into Agile requirements, modernized systems, and high-quality user-centered solutions.
What I'm looking for
I've supported mission-critical federal systems for more than 19 years, most recently at Information Gateways on DOL/OSHA Agile delivery, requirements, testing, and Jira backlog management.
Across Insignia Federal Group, Precise Software Solutions, CNI Professional Services, Futrend Technology, and TurningPoint Global Solutions, I've helped agencies including DOL, OCC, AHRQ/HCUP, FDA, CMS, and HRSA turn complex business needs into traceable requirements and practical system improvements.
I've led requirements workshops, UAT, change control, documentation, data analysis, and modernization work, including legacy migration to AWS and Drupal-based solutions. I bring a user-centered, compliance-focused approach to improving delivery quality and operational efficiency.
