Patrick Rhodey is a Deputy Program Manager and seasoned technology professional with 13 years of experience guiding large federal IT programs and delivering Salesforce transformations. Based in Washington, D.C., he combines program-level leadership—overseeing 50–100 resources and multi-million dollar budgets—with hands-on technical skills in SQL, data cleansing, and system stabilization. Previously he led functional teams migrating a 30-year legacy system to Salesforce Lightning and validated complex data migrations using Postgres. A pragmatic engineer at heart, he contributes to mobile open-source projects such as Signal Android and Silence, focusing on MMS and messaging UX improvements, and brings occasional Rust and JavaScript work from his GitHub interests. Known for turning messy legacy data into auditable, reliable systems, he regularly presents defect-reduction metrics to senior stakeholders and designs operational solutions to minimize developer reliance post-launch. His dual BS in Information Systems and Accounting underpins a rare blend of technical, process, and financial fluency.
