Hi, I’m Mike McKeever
Technical Program Manager | National Security | Cloud & AI Delivery | TS/SCI CI Poly
I’m a Technical Program Manager with 20+ years delivering mission-critical systems across the Intelligence Community, DoD, and DHS, specializing in secure system modernization, Agile delivery, and cross-agency program execution.
My current focus is on cloud architecture and technical program delivery, including AWS-based system design, secure data platforms, and DevSecOps-aligned workflows. I develop reference architectures and implementation prototypes to evaluate scalability, security, and mission alignment in regulated environments.
This GitHub portfolio highlights work at the intersection of cloud, AI governance, and mission-oriented delivery in regulated and high-security environments. The portfolio emphasizes translation of mission workflows into cloud-native architectures, with a focus on security, scalability, and delivery in classified environments.
Recent work includes reference architectures for secure mission data platforms and cloud architecture tradeoff analysis.
