Technical Program Manager | Federal Technology Modernization | Cloud & AI Transformation | ICAM & Zero Trust | Agile Delivery | National Security
I’m a Technical Program Manager with 20+ years supporting mission-critical programs across the Intelligence Community, DoD, and DHS, with experience spanning secure system modernization, enterprise requirements, Agile delivery, cross-agency integration, and technology governance.
My current focus includes cloud architecture and technical program delivery, ICAM and Zero Trust modernization, Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), secure data platforms, AI governance, and DevSecOps-aligned delivery. I develop independent research, reference architectures, and implementation prototypes to examine how policy, mission requirements, security, and technology come together in complex federal environments.
This GitHub portfolio highlights work at the intersection of federal technology modernization, cloud architecture, ICAM and access governance, AI governance, and mission-oriented technical delivery.
- 🔐 ICAM, ABAC & Zero Trust: Researching policy-driven authorization, attribute governance, access-control modernization, and enterprise implementation
- ☁️ Secure Cloud Architecture: Developing AWS reference architectures and implementation prototypes for regulated and mission environments
- 🧠 AI Governance & Assurance: Exploring AI risk, policy, assurance, and responsible adoption frameworks
- 🌐 Federal Technology Modernization: Connecting mission requirements, enterprise architecture, Agile delivery, security, and governance
Independent professional research on Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM), Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), Zero Trust, policy-driven authorization, attribute governance, and federal enterprise modernization.
Featured white paper: Operationalizing Attribute-Based Access Control Within a Zero Trust Enterprise Modernization — analysis of policy-to-access translation, authoritative attribute governance, authorization, enterprise integration, performance measurement, and implementation risk.
