WORK HISTORY
Gs-14 Ast Technical Resource Management @NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Houston, TX, US
As a Systems Engineer at NASA, I have spent over 15 years leading configuration and systems engineering initiatives across multiple programs supporting human spaceflight. My expertise spans Configuration and Data Management, Requirements Management, Risk Management, and Cost Estimation, with a focus on enabling technical excellence, data integrity, and mission assurance in complex, multi-center environments.I am currently leading Configuration Management of engineering hardware for the Johnson Space Center’s Engineering Division, where I oversee configuration control, compliance, and verification across multiple flight hardware projects. This work ensures risk mitigation, data accuracy, and seamless collaboration between engineering, safety, and program management teams.Previously, I led Configuration Management for the first delivery of the Orion Capsule, coordinating configuration processes between NASA centers and industry partners to ensure traceability and alignment with program-level requirements.Within the Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Development Office, I led the implementation of Windchill, a Product Lifecycle Management system that transformed how engineering and verification data are managed. I also directed cross-agency teams in developing the EVA Space Suit Requirements and Verification & Validation Documents, establishing a framework for future suit development programs.Additionally, I serve as the Agency Lead for NASA’s Configuration Management Community of Practice, bringing together professionals across NASA centers to align standards, share best practices, and drive continuous improvement in systems and configuration management.I thrive in complex, cross-functional environments, leading diverse teams to deliver technically sound, mission-critical results that advance NASA’s goals for sustainable human exploration.
