Professional Projects

Enterprise OT Cybersecurity Infrastructure Program

Challenge

Critical infrastructure organization with 30+ generation facilities faced multiple cybersecurity challenges: lack of asset visibility across industrial networks, IT/OT convergence risks, legacy system vulnerabilities, manual patch management processes, overwhelming vulnerability alerts without prioritization, limited OT cybersecurity expertise, and ineffective incident response capabilities.

Solution

Led a comprehensive 4-year, $15M enterprise cybersecurity program implementing industrial cybersecurity infrastructure across diverse generation environments. Managed complex stakeholder coordination with each facility having unique operational constraints, downtime windows, and regulatory requirements. Executed strategic 3-phase approach: Central management infrastructure (Phase 1), non-regulatory facilities deployment (Phase 2), and regulatory-sensitive facilities implementation (Phase 3).

Impact

Successfully delivered $15M program on schedule across 4-year timeline with zero operational disruptions. Coordinated 30+ facility teams with diverse operational requirements. Achieved enterprise-wide asset visibility, automated patch management, centralized incident response capabilities, and bridged IT/OT security gaps across all generation environments.

OT Network Visibility & Threat Detection Modernization Program

Challenge

Legacy network observables across 30+ generation facilities provided insufficient visibility into OT network traffic and limited threat detection capabilities. Organization needed modern network monitoring and intrusion detection systems to enhance cybersecurity posture and meet evolving security requirements.

Solution

Led a comprehensive 3-year, $7M infrastructure modernization program replacing legacy network observables with advanced OT intrusion detection systems and Gigamon network visibility solutions. Managed complex technology transitions across diverse generation environments while maintaining continuous network monitoring and operational security.

Impact

Successfully delivered $7M program across 3-year timeline with enhanced threat detection capabilities, improved network visibility across all OT environments, and modernized cybersecurity infrastructure foundation. Achieved seamless technology transitions without compromising operational monitoring or security posture.

Enterprise Data Unification Initiative

Challenge

Organization struggled with fragmented data across multiple systems, inconsistent naming conventions, and data quality issues that impacted analytics and reporting accuracy.

Solution

Built a unified data architecture using Power Query (M) and Power BI, with a two-tier development and deployment system that filtered bad data, created accountability, and established a single source of truth for analytics and business intelligence.

Impact

Enabled visibility into previously unavailable data, built stakeholder trust, and established a culture of data ownership. Reduced reporting time by 65% and improved analytics-driven decision accuracy by 40%.

Proactive Resource Management System

Challenge

Resource conflicts and project delays due to lack of early visibility into dependencies across business services.

Solution

Integrated business planning and project management data using Power Platform tools, automating early notifications and resource tracking for better project outcomes.

Impact

Accelerated development timelines by 35%, enabled early discovery of dependencies, and reduced project delays by 70%—demonstrating the value of analytics-driven automation.

Red Project Report

Challenge

Portfolio managers lacked timely visibility into the status of multiple projects under their supervision, resulting in delayed interventions and missed deadlines.

Solution

Implemented an automated reporting system that identified projects with metrics in the "red" zone requiring immediate attention, with daily updates and executive dashboards.

Impact

Enabled proactive management of at-risk projects, eliminated 15 hours of weekly manual reporting efforts, and improved executive decision-making, resulting in 28% fewer project overruns.

Project Phase Checklist

Challenge

Projects moved between lifecycle phases without completing required deliverables, leading to quality issues, rework, and increased annual cost.

Solution

Created an automated governance system that tracked required deliverables and flagged incomplete items during phase transitions, with integrated approval workflows and documentation.

Impact

Ensured adherence to methodology standards, reduced rework, and increased stakeholder confidence in delivery processes, resulting in annual savings.
