Work Experience:

STR, LLC June 2008 to February 2009
Planning and Budget Analyst specializing in developing automated tools using Microsoft Excel, Access, and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

• In support of Air Force Long Range Plans, Mr. McLeod maintained and expanded the Extended Tradespace Tool (ETT). ETT provides the Air Staff with an automated mechanism to collect and combine budget and planning data from several sources into a single database. From this database using ETT tools, developed in MS Excel and Access, the Air Staff can quickly explore budget and force plan options projected out to 2040. Mr. McLeod added new data structuring and option building tools.

Wyle Laboratories, Aeronautics Group March 2004 to present
Cost Analyst specializing in developing automated cost models using Microsoft Excel, Access, and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

• In support of the Space Intelligence Community, I redesigned and rewritten a cost modeling application that adds significant new capabilities and features that improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the cost analyst. Significant improvements include: unlimited estimate excursions with version control and audit trail; database storage of CER formulae and processes that are dynamically assigned to estimate line items; a business rule base that is used to assess the completeness and reasonableness of contractor supplied data; automated data import from and export to Excel workbooks; a reference database that may be shared by all analysts in a group; an estimate database that may be shared by all members of an estimating team; and automated export of data to an Excel cost model.
• Completed a proof of concept demonstrating that cost estimating relationships (CERs) — parametric equations relating cost to independent variables — can be stored in a RDBMS, retrieved, and executed. This proof of concept also demonstrated that processes can also be stored into and retrieved from a RDBMS. These processes consist of a series of independent equations that can be linked so the results can be chained where the dependent variable of one can feed an independent variable of the next. This application uses persisted objects to contain CERs and processes in a RDBMS or text file.
• Designed and built a COTR’s contract management application that provides the current status of contracts and also tracks the changes to the contracts over time. This application uses linked lists in a RDBMS to give the user the capability to move back and forth in time by clicking navigation buttons. Planned, obligated, committed, and expended funds are tracked by appropriation and CLIN.
• Took over maintenance of an existing time keeping application making significant changes to reporting and data validation.
• Took over maintenance of an existing generic cost model. Several significant new features have been added and fixes have been made to existing features.

Broad Run IT, LLC, November 2001 to present
I am the owner and the only employee of Broad Run IT, LLC

• Completed work in March 2003 on the SPS / SAMMS interface developed while an employee of AMS. This task completed the requirements and made the total application system run in the client's working environment. The work required knowledge of the DoD procurement process and the processes at the Defense Logistics Agency. The technical environment included HPUX, Sybase ASE, Windows 2000, and Microsoft network infrastructure. The development tools used were UNIX C and Shell Scripting, and Sybase ASE database, SQL, stored procedures, host language interface, and PowerBuilder. Knowledge of the DoD Standard Procurement System (SPS) was key to accomplishing this work.
