Budget & resource management

Supporting an agencywide personnel budget.

My responsibilities include budget execution and projections for Salaries & Benefits. I assess funding needs and brief management on workforce utilization and resource risks.

Analytics & operations

Replacing a monthly report with a biweekly Tableau dashboard.

I developed a biweekly Tableau FTE dashboard that replaced a manual monthly Excel report used for more than six years. It combines payroll data with known staffing gains and losses, and offices across the agency use it for FTE analysis.

Still curious. Still building.

Personal projects give me a place to explore how systems work, and what it takes to keep them useful.

Personal project · Open source

Making a federal job search easier to review.

I built and published an open-source tool that searches USAJOBS on a schedule, checks each posting against the hiring paths a person qualifies for, and delivers a short list of matches, a watch list and near misses, with a reason for every job it sets aside.

What I learned

A keyword search can’t tell you whether you can apply. The answer is in structured fields like appointment type, pay plan and hiring path. And a filter is only worth trusting when it explains what it left out.

The screening workflow

  1. Search

    Run every saved search through the official USAJOBS API.

  2. Screen

    Check eligibility, job series, pay plan and appointment type.

  3. Report

    Sort postings into matches, a watch list and near misses, each with its reason.
