Background

About Marco Barragan

With nearly 19 years as a Chief Warrant Officer in the U.S. Army, I've honed my expertise in designing and managing data systems within high-stakes, global environments. My career is marked by delivering scalable, mission-critical solutions, adapting to dynamic challenges, and leading diverse teams with cultural fluency. Known for my problem-solving tenacity and collaborative approach, I excel in environments that demand both technical and strategic leadership. As I approach retirement on September 1, 2026, I'm focused on returning to Dallas-Fort Worth to launch my civilian career by July 2026. I'm eager to leverage my military experience in data architecture and leadership with government contracting companies, contributing to technology solutions that support federal missions. I'm actively pursing AWS certifications (Cloud Practitioner by July 2025, Solutions Architect - Associate by November 2025) to pivot into cloud computing with a long-term goal of securing a tech role that offers global impact and international travel opportunities.
