Summary
With over 20 years of experience in the cost analysis community, I have held various roles as a pricing analyst, estimator, and financial/budget analyst & systems engineer for Department of Defense (DoD), Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and Ministry of Defense (MoD) programs. During my tenure at Bechtel National, I gained expertise in cost model development and successfully created cost models to capture program cost data from conceptual development to Total Ownership Cost (TOC). I have supported the planning, budgeting, execution, and monitoring of fielded systems for major defense clients such as POA Aviation and POE ACWA Chem Demil. Additionally, I have a decade of experience in Earned Value Management (EVM), specializing in Project Controls and Systems Engineering. In this role, I effectively managed program budgets and prepared progress reports. I have translated customer requirements into an Integrated Master Schedule and maintained cost breakdown schedules aligned with the overall schedule. To ensure program success, I analyze program performance and develop work-around strategies or programmatic recommendation scenarios communicated to program management. I am proficient in developing financial documents like Subcontractor Funding Releases (SFRs), Work Authorization Documents (WADs), Variance Analysis Reports (VARs), and utilizing best-in-class systems such as Artemis tool suite, Project View, Cost View, Win Sight, Deltek tool suite MPM and PRISM G2, Primavera P6 for program updates and refinement.
