About Jeff A

I am a Principal Solutions Architect with a proven track record of spearheading Greenfield Digital Transformations within Echelon 2 environments and scaling or identifying new digital transformation opportunities within the enterprise. I specialize in bridging the gap between high-level policy (Title 10, DOD, DASN(P), etc) and technical execution to deliver integrated oversight ecosystems from the ground up. I recently architected and deployed a relational, 365 Power Platform Apps-based Enterprise Contracts Management System (ECMS) ERP that serves as the single source of truth for portfolio-wide contract, risk, issue and schedule data. By integrating complex cost-performance grading and automated snapshot logic (IMRs), I transformed a \'digitally zero\' portfolio office into a data-driven oversight powerhouse. I currently serve as a direct technical advisor to executive leadership, providing the intelligence frameworks necessary for high-stakes decision-making and mission continuity.I utilize my certified knowledge of PMP principles, Lean Six Sigma efficiency, Scrum and Agile mindsets, as well as a dedication to modern UX/UI into my endeavors. My design philosophy is simple: if a solution requires a manual to function, the design is not yet ready. I believe the technical burden must rest on the architect, not the end-user.• Enterprise Architecture: Designed and maintained a 1:N relational database model in a 365 Power Platform environment, integrating disparate modules for SRRB tracking, Risk/Issue management, Acquisition Scheduling, and quarterly Internal Management Reviews (IMRs) for a $750M+ portfolio of Echelon 2 and sub-echelon contracts. • Executive Advisory: Provide direct strategic counsel to SES and Echelon 2 executive leadership, translating raw data into 25+ high-fidelity and interactive Power BI executive reports for portfolio oversight of over 120 services contracts. • Digital Transformation (Zero-to-One): Championed the full-lifecycle migration of manual, paper-based processes to a unified digital ecosystem, implementing record-based security and vetted access pipelines for 200+ director and executive members.• Quantitative Governance: Developed objective \"Red/Yellow/Green\" grading logic based on quantitative cost/schedule/performance metrics, eliminating reporting bias and standardizing enterprise health checks.• Policy & Governance: Provided editor quality echelon 2 level instructions and policy drafts signed by executives and head of Agency.
