I’m a technical program leader, U.S. Army Captain, and founder of Varethon, with 8+ years of experience leading complex operations and cross-functional teams. I translate ambiguous requirements into clear priorities, accountable ownership, and executable plans while managing stakeholders, resources, risks, and dependencies. At the 11th Airborne Division, I designed and fielded five Maven Smart System decision-support capabilities that reduced operational data-synthesis time by 50%. My work connected user needs with practical digital workflows, stakeholder adoption, and measurable improvements to senior-leader decision support. I also founded Varethon, an AI-enabled operational platform I’m developing to connect planning, task ownership, dependencies, and risk. I own product requirements and hands-on development using TypeScript, React, Next.js, and API integrations, taking features from initial workflows through implementation, iteration, and deployment. This gives me a practical understanding of both program execution and the software development lifecycle. Chance_Dickson_Anduril_Software_Engineering_Resume.docx I hold a B.S. in Civil Engineering, am a Certified ScrumMaster, and am pursuing a master’s in Software Engineering. I bring structured problem-solving, clear written communication, and experience coordinating teams under demanding conditions. I’m seeking a fully remote Technical Program Manager, Program Manager, or Technical Project Manager role with a software, AI, or defense-technology company. I’m also open to software engineering opportunities where my hands-on product development and operational experience can contribute.
