Technology Transfer & Segment Architecture Lead, PMO

• Jun 2012 - Aug 2013

Led cross functional project teams to develop Enterprise Architecture (EA) products. These EA products captured As-Is views (current systems baseline) and To-Be views (future capabilities). As a result, these products enabled senior executives to visualize and understand capabilities’ roadmap before investing the programs. Also, program offices utilized these EA products as blueprints to refine requirements and architecture design during the roadmap’s execution. I often used these products to brief executives at higher level by mapping out near future capabilities in simple context. The briefing included gaps analysis, system engineering analysis, and notional roadmap on how to achieve those future capabilities. I also led the same teams in defining the Technology Transfer Assessment Framework; the purpose of this framework was to establish a business process of transferring research capabilities from NASA to the FAA program offices. As a result, I received a spot award for outstanding leadership in producing high results of this effort. Along with my primary duties, I served as a FAC-COR Technical Liaison Officer in support of Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) MITRE program. Show less
