Background

About Benjamin S.

Summary:**With over two decades of expertise in information and management systems security, project planning, solution engineering, enterprise architecture, and IT development, I bring a wealth of experience to the dynamic IT leadership landscape. I've been instrumental in spearheading critical initiatives for the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), fostering innovation, and optimizing technology solutions.** Security and Project Leadership at DOJ:**As a Supervisory IT Specialist at the DOJ, I lead a team of 21 federal and contractor staff, managing a $7.5m annual budget. My agile project leadership has been integral to the success of high-profile web and SharePoint projects. Additionally, I oversaw the migration of on-premise SharePoint to SharePoint Online (SPO) and successfully deployed the Personnel Accountability and Assessment Systems (PAAS) across DOJ components.** Achievements and Cost Savings:**During my tenure, I supported the development of applications that saved the DOJ money in unnecessary extended licensing costs. As a lead on the ATS operations and maintenance contract, I maintained an impressive 99.97% application uptime and oversaw four contractors.** Innovation and Strategic Leadership:**I supported the implementation of the DOJ's first mobile application development environment, Virtual Application Lab (VAL), creating the DOJ's first publicly available iOS mobile application, Law Jobs. My role extended to planning and designing the architecture for the Justice Case Application Platform (JCAP), resulting in an approximate 33% lower cost of ownership and reduced ATS operations and maintenance costs.** Experience Beyond DOJ:**Prior to my DOJ roles, I served as a Senior Oracle Database Administrator at Booz Allen Hamilton, where I developed and upgraded the DOJ Rent Management System (DRMS) and played a key role in the virtual server migration. At ManTech International Corporation, I served as a Lead Oracle Database Administrator for the FBI, focusing on database security, disaster recovery, and compliance with federal directives.** Recognitions and Certifications:**- Attorney General’s Award for Excellence in Information Technology – Nov '20- JMD Special Commendation Award - 2023, 2022, 2018, 2016, 2014- FAC Project Manager (PM) – Feb '20- FAC Contracting Officer Representative (COR) – Feb '20- CXO Fellowship: GSA – Oct '18 – Sep '19
