Hi! I'm Sharif Aboulnaga, a Senior Technical Program Manager with more than 20 years of experience leading large‑scale technology modernization initiatives and enterprise program execution across the Public Sector. I manage technology portfolios exceeding $30M, covering PaaS applications, AI solutions, and contract strategy, while building and guiding high‑performing, cross‑functional teams that deliver measurable mission outcomes.

 

Throughout my career, I’ve provided services for agencies such as the Department of Justice, the Defense Acquisition University, the General Services Administration, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Department of Transportation, as well as the private sector such as GEICO. In my current role at the Department of Transportation, I lead full life‑cycle IT program management for multiple modernization efforts, overseeing delivery, budgeting, acquisitions, performance management, and cost control.

 

Recently, I’ve overseen the deployment of three mission‑critical, citizen‑facing applications supporting airline and motor carrier safety, lead the development of an enterprise grants‑tracking system managing over $1B annually, and led market research for a $90M Salesforce license acquisition that reduced redundancy and improved efficiency.

 

I hold an M.S. in Software Development Management and professional certifications, including PMP, Executive and Performance Leadership (Cornell University), Applied Data Science: Leveraging AI for Strategic Decision‑Making (MIT), and Certified Scrum Master.
