What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role applying Scrum and systems engineering to deliver cloud-enabled, data-driven solutions, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and grow into broader program leadership.

I am a systems engineer and certified Scrum Master with a Master of Science in Software Engineering and a background in electrical engineering. I lead technical teams, facilitate PI planning and sprint ceremonies, and calculate velocity and capacity to drive predictable delivery.

I have held senior systems engineering and program management roles across DoD and commercial environments, implementing cloud solutions, data modeling, automation, and integration strategies. I apply process improvement, risk management, and stakeholder engagement to ensure requirements are translated into reliable implementations.

I hold DAWIA Level II PM credentials and a Certified Scrum Master certification, and I am experienced with AWS, Docker, Jenkins, Jira/Confluence, and a broad software and electrical toolset. I seek opportunities to lead cross-functional teams, modernize systems, and deliver measurable program outcomes.
