Experience
System Engineer
Jan 2021 — Present
As a Systems Engineer supporting multiple federal agencies including the Federal Aviation Administration, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Indian Health Service, and the United States Postal Service, I deliver model-based systems engineering and digital transformation solutions that strengthen system traceability, performance, and compliance across the enterprise lifecycle.I develop and integrate system architectures, data models, and visual analytics using tools such as Cameo, SysML, Visio, Power BI, and Mural to enable digital thread continuity and data-driven decision-making. My work includes designing Power BI dashboards that consolidate complex data sources, standardizing quality assurance and systems engineering practices, and applying model-based evaluation techniques to assess maturity, identify verification and validation gaps, and drive continuous improvement.I lead cross-functional working groups and stakeholder engagements to refine requirements, validate architectures, and align digital engineering initiatives with federal standards such as DoDAF and NIST 800-53. My experience includes defining layered data architectures, managing secure data environments, and implementing DevSecOps and governance practices to ensure compliance, security, and interoperability.Throughout my career, I have supported enterprise modernization and the adoption of model-based systems engineering by connecting business processes, system models, and analytics into cohesive digital ecosystems. I am passionate about advancing system maturity, collaboration, and innovation within complex technical environments while helping organizations transition from document-based engineering to data-driven, integrated solutions.
