FEMA Region 9 Risk MAP Portfolio
Rebuilt regional reporting and data-tracking workflows for a 50-project floodplain-management portfolio whose tracking had quietly broken down.

Took over about 50 projects with status scattered all over the place.
Worked out that the tracking had broken down and nobody had a current view.
Set up one place for status, clearer dependencies, and regular reporting.
Ran the portfolio so problems showed up earlier across long-running projects.
I took over a portfolio of about 50 floodplain projects where the tracking had quietly fallen apart — status was spread across spreadsheets, inboxes, and people's memory, so it was hard to get a straight answer.
I rebuilt the tracking: one place where status actually lived, dependencies you could see, and reporting that gave regional leadership a current read.
The portfolio got easier to manage, and problems tended to show up sooner — which matters a lot on projects that run eight to twelve years.
