1. Solution Architect

   General Dynamics Information Technology

   Jul 2021 — Present

   As a Solution Architect within the GDIT FedCiv Chief Technology Office, I help drive the technical solutions needed to win GDIT’s State and Local strategic proposals. This is one of the company\'s most important customer facing roles and allows me the opportunity to provide the strategic direction of the project by comparing tools and techniques and suggesting the ones that best serve the project. Through translating relevant details about the project into a language that management and other stake holders can understand, I align people with technology. This position has three major roles. During Pre-Proposal Planning, I ensure readiness of solution and proposal support team to prepare a compelling and compliant response to the government\'s solicitation. I lead development of the Technical Volumes and orals presentations for proposals, coach and advise more junior solution architecture and proposal support resources. During Proposal construction, I author Technical Volume introductions, key sections and orals slides including developing compelling graphics. During Program execution I support successful program delivery by developing solutions for use on various programs, provide oversight and coordination of technical resources and engage with customer as an SME for delivery.
