Employment History	ARMY CAPABILITIES INTEGRATION CENTER, FORT KNOX, KY August 2006 – Present Reliability Engineer Lead Reliability Engineer, Adapt established engineering and mathematical methods and procedures to develop and rationalize Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) requirements that are consistent with the operational needs of the field army. Monitor assigned acquisition programs to assure that visibility of user RAM considerations is maintained in prescribed acquisition documentation and that required actions are properly executed. Successfully lead the initiative to increase the fidelity of the RAM requirements for the Stryker (ACAT1, >$10B) family of 11 platforms from a set of requirements for 11 platforms to a set of requirements developed for each individual platform. This project leveraged the integration and cooperation of different Army agencies and interests including: combat developments, program management, testing and evaluation, and life cycle management. Provided specialized RAM Engineering expertise to the US Army Armor Center by the authoring RAM requirements for 20+ programs that were reflected in the Capabilities Development Document (CDD), on average, as one Key Performance Parameter (KPP) and two Key System Attributes (KSAs). To date, there has been a 100% acceptance rate as those requirements transition from a CDD to a Capabilities Production Document (CPD).
	UNIT OF ACTION MANEUVER BATTLE LAB, FORT KNOX, KY June 2003 – August 2006 Operations Research Systems Analyst Lead Analyst for Force Effectiveness of military, civilian, contractor, joint, and multi-national project teams of up to 32 members. Designed data collection plans, extracted simulation data, identified and solved analytical objectives, and presented analysis to Army leadership to facilitate the Future Combat Systems Brigade Combat Team (FCS BCT) program (ACAT1, >$168B). Developed, integrated, and executed the experimental underpinnings of a $7M, 600-person distributed simulation event as a lead analyst. Built and implemented an analytical plan that combined quantitative and qualitative elements of the data-collection management plan with parallel analytical efforts to support the timely delivery of information in near real-time to senior Army leadership. Accelerated the data collection process 98.6% from 3 days to 1 hour as key project contributor. This reduced data integration from twenty servers to one and increased the overall reliability and consistency of aggregated data and reduced the final report turnaround from 6 months to 5 days.
