Dept of State - EnergyCap
Supported the Energy Manager and Greening Diplomacy Initiative (GDI) team in building an application to Modernize Utility Reporting and Management for 255 Posts Worldwide. This application created a Cost-Avoidance of $300K based on only 60% completion of the effort. Throughout the effort a reporting module was made available to the PMO, AM’s, and Leadership to ensure transparency and awareness of progress across the Bureaus.
Dept of State - Future of Work
Developed a collection of tools for the Department’s guidance and support for returning to the workplace and transitioning to a hybrid work environment to include: a Mobility Assessment application for Managers to assess telework capabilities; Change Management tool that serves as a step-by-step roadmap for identifying and managing workplace changes efficiently; and a toolkit to consolidate mobility resources from across the Department to make it easier for teams to advance the mission whether in the office, at home, or on the go.
FAA - UAS Integration Pilot Program
As part of the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) IPP, I designed and developed the system to securely capture Lead Participants’ Unmanned Aircraft data, based on Missions, Operations, Aircrafts and supporting Flight data. The IPP brought state, local, and tribal governments together with private sector entities, to accelerate safe drone integration.
FAA - Broad Agency Announcement
Developed the BAA post-award system to manage the day to day tasks of the contract award while at the same time addressing the appropriation requirements in Public Law 116-6. Features include but are not limited to: the electronic submission of all content via web form, ability for COR, TPOC, CO to set, manage, and approve project deliverable dates and content.

Developed Capital Asset Inventory (CAI) in Access 2003 to assist sector managers in tracking ongoing projects to rectify major facility deficiencies in properties owned and leased by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Dept of State - M/SS FY21 Operational Plan
I created this tool so executives can provide their quarterly updates to the Operational Plan in a Goals, Objectives, and Milestones hierarchy. I later integrated this application with the M/SS Task Management tool I created to associate tasks with their respective Operational Plan milestones’ so we could role tasks up to the Bureau’s business initiatives.
FAA - On-Line Aviation Safety Inspection System
Developed a suite of applications in Visual Studio 6.0 called the On-Line Aviation Safety Inspection System (OASIS). OASIS facilitates the creation and management of Program Tracking and Reporting Subsystem (PTRS) records, forms, letters, reports, and other files necessary for the completion of administrative, surveillance, certification, and investigation activities performed by FAA Aircraft Inspectors
Noblis - Wage and Tax, State of Alabama
Though a partnership with the State of Maryland and the ITSC, and Mitretek Systems, I developed a 3-tier .NET wage and tax application for the State of Alabama so employers could pay taxes on their employees quarterly.
DOJ - Senior Specialist & Architect
I provided administration, design, development, customization, integration an overall support of SharePoint 2013 environment. At the Director's request I was asked to develop a workflow system to capture and report procurement data, supporting documentation, and Senior Leadership approvals. In this effort I also developed powerShell scripts to kickoff daily alerts to Senior Leadership of delayed approvals as well as an executive Level reporting tool which displays charts and graphs data in real-time.
