  As the DBSAE Chief Engineer, I serve as the principal advisor to the BTA/DBSAE Component Acquisition Executive (CAE) on all issues regarding System Engineering matters, as related to program life cycle activities for the Supply Chain, Finance, Travel, and Human Resource enterprise programs. The BTA CAE has responsibility for over 20+ enterprise programs with estimated total Portfolio operational funds at $180M+ providing business capabilities supporting DoD business operations.

I manage a team of interdisciplinary background from business process, architect, system engineers, and developers. I oversee advanced future technology research and development (R&D) activities in the area of Services Oriented solution, data virtualization, data ontology/common vocabulary, and services with cloud computing. We leverage a proven technical assessment methodology called the Integrated Feasibility Assessment (IFA) working with the stakeholders to define the requirements, perform capability assessment, and make recommendation/business case on new and existing capabilities. Several key IFA studies including DoD versus Commercial Hosting which has the potential for 43% cost savings for DoD in five-years; Data Integration, Vendor Portal, and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) all resulted in transformational initiatives for BTA DBSAE. I oversee the implementation of several centralized capabilities supporting DBSAE and BTA to include Business Intelligence Dashboard, Common Vocabulary/Ontology, and Configuration Management (CM) tool.
