• Supports public requirements, architecture-alignment, traceability, and Agile coordination activities.
• Keeps current-role content conservative and limited to approved resume wording.

Supported reliability, maintainability, sustainment, provisioning, depot analysis, integrated logistics support, control account management, and model-based systems-engineering activities for complex defense and communications systems.

The full record

• Served as ILS Manager coordinating the 12 IPS elements to support availability, readiness, supportability, and lifecycle cost objectives.
• Defined logistics provisioning data for a major Navy program, establishing part-level supportability and material-management requirements.
• Built a Cameo MBSE model using logical and physical architecture, imported requirements, profiles, value types, tables, and BDD, IBD, and Activity diagrams.
• Managed cost, schedule, requirements, forecasts, variances, and deliverables as CAM on a $9.1M sustainment effort.
• Coordinated procurement, reliability, and systems teams to produce a spares CDRL using availability, cost, reliability, repair-cycle, turnaround-time, and lead-time inputs.
• Reviewed and interpreted SOWs, DIDs, ICDs, and program documentation.
• Developed and owned CDEs and CDRLs including LORA, Product Support Plans, Product Support Analysis, and Depot Maintenance Studies.
• Used policy-compliant AI to decompose requirements, analyze documents, and improve Excel macro and script development.
• Worked with program management and design engineering teams to integrate sustainment and maintainability from design through end-of-life.
• Supported lifecycle and product-support decisions across engineering and program teams.
• Connected provisioning, reliability, maintainability, and systems inputs to supportability decisions.

Supported aircraft navigation, sustainment, modernization, readiness, and special-project activities across multiple military platforms. Coordinated engineering, supply, depot, contractor, program, and leadership organizations to resolve technical issues and improve operational supportability.

The full record

• Led an engineering flight and projects function supporting more than 30 engineers and nine redesign efforts valued at $19.2M.
• Served as government POC and lead engineer on a $4.6M navigation modernization project, coordinating contractors, program office, depot, schedule, cost, and prototype scope.
