Meet the Candidates
Running for President-Elect
Mr. Peter Butziger, ESEP
I am a proud INCOSE ESEP member of the Chesapeake chapter and have been inspired by past / current chapter Presidents to submit my name for President-Elect.
My background includes BS Computer Science from ETSU and MS in Technical Management from Johns Hopkins.
I work for Perspecta Engineering and have SE expertise in cloud (ICITE, AWS, AZURE) applications hosting and secure portable architectures. Other credentials include CISSP, PMP, SAFe Agilist, ITIL and Joint Patent holder for secure internet voting (US 7.729.991.B2). I also have Cyber experience with NSA/NTOC and DHS National Cybersecurity Protection System (NCPS) as Chief SE for an SE&I contract.
Some of my most enjoyable SE moments included: being an instructor for DHS tailored SE Life Cycle and conference briefings on PKI at AFCEA/SPACECOM and NISSC. As a President-Elect candidate, I bring a belief in continual improvement of the art and science of Systems Engineering, belief in STEM activities and willingness to learn from and represent our impressive Chesapeake membership.
