  • Standardize Jira project configuration methodologies to ensure consistency, repeatability, governance compliance, and scalable administration across enterprise teams.
  • Develop and expand Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) frameworks aligned with federal program management standards and automate issue creation using structured templates and workflow logic.
  • Design and maintain Advanced Roadmaps hierarchies to provide portfolio-level visibility, dependency tracking, milestone management, and executive reporting across multiple projects and programs.
  • Develop custom ScriptRunner automations and integrations utilizing REST APIs, listeners, scripted fields, UI fragments, and workflow extensions to improve operational efficiency and reporting capabilities.
  • Design and expand Cyber Threat Intelligence tracking and enterprise operational management platforms leveraging Jira, Assets, and integrated workflow solutions.
  • Lead migration, modernization, and stabilization efforts for Jira and Confluence environments transitioning from on-premises infrastructure to Atlassian Cloud.
  • Support enterprise integrations including Single Sign-On (SSO), Active Directory/LDAP synchronization, identity management, and AWS infrastructure optimization.
  • Deliver user training, platform adoption support, workflow demonstrations, and operational guidance to technical teams, leadership, and business stakeholders.
  • Provide governance recommendations and best practices for enterprise Atlassian platform architecture, security, permissions, and operational scalability.
