Mike Hart

I’m a U.S. Navy Veteran with 15+ years of experience in results-driven project management, software development, data analysis, product ownership, and business analysis. I lead cross-functional teams, build and execute product roadmaps, and use agile methodologies to drive real operational improvements.

Most recently, I served as a Project Management Specialist at DLS Engineering, leading a cross-functional team of 10 to design, deploy, and maintain an MS Project online site for the USCG SeaWatch Integration Systems—improving overall delivery time by 25%. I integrated Microsoft Project with existing IT infrastructure to streamline progress monitoring, boosted on-time completion by 40%, and increased project reporting efficiency by 30% through a custom tracking solution.

Earlier, as a Special Events Coordinator for the United States Navy, I managed a 60-person facilities and grounds team across 10 sq. miles and cut external contractor spend by $950K+ through in-house execution and optimized labor scheduling. I planned and executed 230+ high-profile events with zero safety or protocol incidents, built training programs for 150 employees with 100% audit compliance, and maintained 24/7 scheduling and staffing to uphold strict ceremonial and security standards.

I’ve also led program-level certification and readiness work as a Program Manager, overseeing maintenance and safety operations for 30+ technological infrastructures and improving mission effectiveness to 100%. I bring a continuous-improvement mindset—pairing risk mitigation, stakeholder engagement, requirements gathering, and quality practices with a technical toolkit spanning JavaScript, Python, React, Django, SQL, and agile delivery frameworks.
