EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE APPROACH
Built through
hands-on work.
Renovum draws on more than 20 years of engineering and technical leadership experience. These selected examples of prior professional work show the practical foundation behind the approach.
01 / RECOVER UNDERSTANDINGInherit the system.
Reconstruct the knowledge.
Led engineers supporting deployed systems inherited from another contractor with minimal documentation. Investigated source code, logs, instrumentation and network behavior, and interviewed operators and former personnel to reconstruct how the systems worked.
Spent six weeks on-site transferring knowledge and providing immediate operational support to maintain continuity throughout the transition. The work made the system maintainable and helped restore capability more quickly when problems occurred. Trained the owner on how the system worked and built documentation so others could support it after the transition—without depending on one person to hold all the knowledge.
02 / MAKE IT SUPPORTABLETake prototypes
into real use.
Productized engineering prototypes through hardware hardening, component substitution, custom chassis and harness design, software improvements, assembly planning and field integration.
The work included requirements, test procedures, verification and validation, release management, documentation and training materials.
03 / CROSS THE BOUNDARIESConnect software
to the physical system.
Delivered embedded Linux systems across multiple processor architectures, including drivers, bootloaders, root filesystems and automated test harnesses.
The work spanned software engineering and leadership of DSP and digital design teams across embedded computing, RF sensing and communications systems.
04 / ENGINEER THE ENVIRONMENTFrom drawings
to working facilities.
Supported major facility expansions nationwide, including unclassified spaces and ICD-705-compliant SCIF spaces. Took a hands-on role in specifications, drawing reviews, vendor selection and construction oversight.
The scope crossed server rooms—racks, cable management, UPS and cooling—collaboration and video-conferencing spaces, copper and fiber cabling, network architecture, alarms, access control and operational technology. Infrastructure specification included servers, network switches, storage and specialized GPU compute systems for air-gapped AI workloads.
Specified and coordinated a nationwide multipoint-to-multipoint Layer 2 network connecting buildings to improve performance and resilience. Worked on-site at construction locations across the country, including hands-on implementation to help keep projects on schedule.
05 / DEVELOP THE PEOPLEBuild the organization.
Lead from the work.
Built an IT organization serving facilities nationwide. Established project management and tracking systems, identified and hired candidates across locations, and provided both people leadership and technical direction as chief architect.
Combined architecture and planning with practical support for the people delivering the work. When systems failed, stepped in to diagnose and resolve problems, including outside normal working hours.
The result was organizational capability supported by technical leadership that stayed close to the systems, the projects and the people responsible for them.
