What I'm looking for
I am a PMP-level Senior Project Manager with over 13 years of experience in delivering mission-critical software solutions across energy, security, and data-centric environments. My expertise lies in optimizing cross-functional Agile teams and leading multimillion-dollar renewable energy and sustainability projects. I am passionate about clean technology and have hands-on experience in DevOps, cybersecurity, and distributed energy systems.
At Powin Energy, I managed Agile projects for high-performing teams focused on renewable energy software and grid-scale storage solutions. I successfully designed and implemented dashboards that provided accurate project visibility to C-suite stakeholders, improving time-to-deploy and quality across core energy software. My previous roles at Micron Technology and Blue Cross of Idaho further honed my skills in cybersecurity and Agile development, allowing me to drive significant improvements in project delivery and operational resilience.
