What year did you join 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区?
In 2016, I started as an Enterprise IT Lead, which was like a CIO for the 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 side of our NASA relationship. I was responsible for all the enterprise IT solutions NASA needed at Johnson Space Center.
How did you evolve to where you are?
In my role, I was able to see the silos 鈥 and I started to help make connections so others could see the bigger picture too. I would say, 鈥淲ell, hold on. The reason we鈥檙e having inefficiency issues is that we鈥檙e not linking all these task orders. I see A and B, and E and F, but what happened to D?鈥
It鈥檚 the integration that becomes the problem, especially when one group is designing models for some activity, and another group needs to use those models to do fabrication. They鈥檙e two different systems but they should work together 鈥 so it鈥檚 leveraging the same data platform to streamline and automate, and helping others see the relationships so they鈥檙e able to create links.
What鈥檚 the highlight of your journey so far?
Helping bring SIERRA Cloud to life. This was the result of the same challenge 鈥 one group doesn鈥檛 know what the other is doing. We have five or six partners, all working to develop the flight software for the Orion spacecraft, which is what will take humans to the moon and beyond. We don鈥檛 have time to have everyone do their own work and then come together 鈥 so this was NASA鈥檚 first software development platform we can all use to collaborate in real time.
What tips do you have for others?
- Continually and organically find opportunities to be a value add.
- Take the active approach of closing the loop on action items and responsibilities, 鈥淚f not you, then who?鈥
- Seek out activities you鈥檙e passionate and interested in.
