He, and his role, will help Next Phase create the context needed to bring compelling, modern digital services to our federal customers. His insight into leveraging open source and COTS to form a flexible, low-cost framework for modernization to our customers such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and NOAA, will serve the public’s needs for improved user experience, the government’s need to unlock treasure-troves of data to inform and provide the “actionable insights” needed to direct resources and set funding priorities on massive federal programs, and enable agency leadership to implement significant modernization plans.”
