Engineering Manager

Captured $8B+ in Defense Contracts – Drove proposal leadership, engineering estimation, and customer alignment for major wins supporting NATO, USAF, Navy, and DARPA programs. • Delivered $2M in Cost Savings via Microservices Transition – Architected and led the migration of satellite software systems to a microservice architecture, reducing delivery timelines and development costs while increasing scalability. • Led 13+ Agile Teams Across Space, Flight & C2 Systems – Oversaw development and integration of critical systems for satellite platforms, ISR, and autonomous systems across classified portfolios. • Scaled Engineering Operations Using CMMI & Agile Best Practices – Formalized governance models and scaled Agile teams across distributed cloud, cyber, and embedded systems domains. • Improved Business Development Accuracy by 90% – Streamlined engineering processes and BD practices, enabling accurate forecasting and successful execution of a $200M contract portfolio. • Built Embedded GNC and Real-Time Sensor Software – Designed and deployed mission-critical flight software for guidance, navigation, control, and real-time sensor processing systems. • Directed architecture and proposal strategies for $1B+ international defense programs, integrating advanced C4ISR, autonomous systems, and mission software modernization across classified portfolios. • Led IRAD planning and investment prioritization for FAA cloud modernization, aligning initiatives with strategic engineering goals and boosting technical ROI across distributed portfolios. • Oversaw development of secure, scalable cloud architectures leveraging CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and Agile execution to support federal acquisition and cybersecurity frameworks. • Managed full lifecycle engineering and technical leadership for DoD platforms, including architecture design, software development, sustainment planning, and program execution. • Improved mission outcomes by aligning business priorities with technical solutions, strengthening customer trust, and driving success in secure, high-impact aerospace programs. • Played a key role as an IFC Responsible Engineer, leading vertical and horizontal integration across engineering, system architecture, and program teams for flight-critical systems.

Developed EO/IR firmware for UAV platforms under CMMI Level 3 processes; supported FCS (Future Combat Systems) systems aligned with emerging autonomy requirements. • Developed firmware for optical sensors to control linear actuation systems, diagnostics, and power management. Developed enhanced testing methods with automated build and testing software, increasing test efficiency during the integration process.

Developed and designed C2 systems design documentation, ICDs, test procedures, test reports, customer monthly status reports, and root-cause failure analysis reports and actions, which led to improvements of legacy models, including modeling and simulation updates, bug fixes, and integration of new capabilities. • Worked on an embedded C/C++ system software design and development flight display system. Implemented system architecture requirements (ATAM) design documents. Successfully performed system verification test on the flight display system without failure

Developed system architecture and conducted ATAM, creating requirements for software and hardware teams using ClearCase/Quest. Performed system-level tests and supported integration and testing, ensuring compliance with the software design process and DO-178B standards. Also developed and traced the system to subsystem requirements using DOORS.
