CollapseDescription

Summary of Qualifications: I have supported NASA at Johnson Space Center since 1988 in various roles. I oversee an IT Team of approximately 30 skilled professionals. My capabilities include operations of enterprise IT infrastructure and business process re-engineering. I am skilled at technical analysis, project planning, requirements definition, integration, testing, configuration management, and IT procurements. I participate in systems engineering activities that are focused on reducing our total cost of ownership and increasing Return on Investment (ROI). I currently plan and execute projects, and manage the daily operations of the IT Team to ensure the effective, efficient and secure operation of information technology systems and services. Working with my NASA customer, we define technology objectives based on short-term and long-term goals. I create forecasts and obsolescence plans for the entire IT infrastructure. I manage the annual Execution Year Spend Plan (EYSP) for annual IT expenditures. I am trained in earned value management and use EVMS to report value earned against scheduled milestones to my NASA customer. I am an expert in MS Office Products including MS Excel and MS Access. As a Cost Account Manager I focus on reducing our total cost of ownership for IT equipment and services and increasing the return on these investments. I have knowledge of cyber security risks and impacts to the environment. I research, evaluate, establish, and maintain policy and technical solutions to protect IT assets from attack including creating and maintaining Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans. I coauthored the IT Section of the Human Health and Performance Contract that was awarded to Wyle in 2015. This is a $2B 10 year NASA Prime contract. I served on the selection board for a $1.8M Data Analytics subcontract that we awarded to implement a data analytics platform into our IT environment. I served as the Project Manager for the implementation of a storage network to allow our storage area network (SAN) hardware to share capacity both in Houston and at the White Sand Test Facility (WSTF) in New Mexico. This project was completed on time and under budget.
