About Patrick Heaney

I empower my teams to make better, faster, and more aligned decisions. I leverage Generative AI and rigorous governance to raise the bar of value creation for complex enterprises. As a Senior Technical Program Manager, I specialize in bringing order to chaos, transforming stalled technical initiatives into revenue-generating engines, and bridging the gap between strategic vision and engineering execution.My philosophy is rooted in the belief that \"Context is King.\" Successful programs are built on transparency, data-driven decision-making, and the empowerment of teams through knowledge automation. I combine the discipline of a Defense-sector veteran with the agility of a modern developer, using Python and LangChain to automate workflows and clear the path for innovation.Over the last 15+ years, I have managed portfolios exceeding $50M and led cross-functional teams of 800+ engineers across the Defense, FinTech, and Tech sectors- Strategic Execution: Delivered Cisco’s first DoD Cloud Service Offer, securing a $15M/yr revenue stream by orchestrating 423 security controls- AI Innovation: pioneered the US Army’s first AI Cloud Computer-Vision Service and currently developing Agentic AI tools to reduce DevOps backlogs by 66%- Crisis Management: Earned two U.S. Army \"Top 10 Inventions\" Awards for systems that reduced hostile attacks by 95% in active conflict zones- Governance: PgMP, PMP, Agile Transformation (SAFe), Risk Management (RAID)- Tech Stack: Generative AI (LLMs, RAG), Python (LangChain), Cloud (Azure/AWS), Jira, DevOps.I am looking to connect with leaders reshaping the future of Cloud Infrastructure, Operations, and AI. Let’s discuss how we can optimize your technical roadmap and achieve Operational Excellence.
