03Key personnel
The record we are evaluated on
Progressivity has no federal CPARS history. Under FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), an agency may consider the past performance and experience of key personnel. So here it is, in full, with nothing dressed up as something it isn't.
Harold L Davis Jr, Principal and Lead Engineer
Nine years of professional software engineering across consumer and enterprise systems, delivered primarily on Apple platforms. Two of them at Apple.
| Role | Organization | Period | Relevance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Senior Software Engineer | DroneDeploy | 2021 – present | Geospatial and reality-capture platform at enterprise scale. Large production codebase, service integration, field-use reliability, and offline-tolerant data capture and sync. |
| Software Engineer, iOS | Ibotta | 2020 – 2021 | Consumer-scale system with payments-adjacent flows and third-party service integration. Directly analogous to high-volume citizen-facing agency applications. |
| Solutions Engineer | FullStory | 2020 | Requirements elicitation, solution design, and technical communication with non-engineering stakeholders. The discovery half of a delivery engagement. |
| Build & Release Engineer | Apple | 2018 – 2020 | Platform engineering at the vendor whose accessibility and security frameworks government deployments depend on. Review discipline and release standards at very large scale. |
| Software Engineer, iOS | U-Haul International | 2017 – 2018 | Enterprise logistics and fleet systems integrated with back-office platforms. The closest commercial analogue to agency back-office and field operations. |
| Instructor, iOS Engineering | Tech Talent & Strategy · General Assembly | 2017 | Professional instruction in software engineering. Underwrites the quality of our written deliverables and handover material. |
| Creative Pro | Apple | 2010 – 2017 | Seven years translating technology for non-technical audiences. That is the skill a program officer is actually buying. |
Principal's portfolio: individual work and experience. haroldldavis.com documents Harold's individual engineering work and career history. It is offered as evidence of individual experience under FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv). It is not Progressivity corporate past performance and is not offered as such.
Additional engineering support
Delivery is led by the principal. Additional engineering support is identified and named by proposal, working in the same practices, review standards, and accessibility discipline, with a full résumé provided at submission.
Continuity
Support is drawn from engineers the principal has worked with and reviewed, so the team has an established review culture rather than strangers assembled for a bid.
Capacity
Naming support at proposal lets us match the team to the scope, and hold a delivery schedule and a customer relationship at the same time.
Structure
On completion of SAM registration we qualify as a similarly situated small business, so subcontracting-limit math under 13 CFR 125.6 is clean for prime partners.
Past performance
Current status: no completed government contracts. We will publish references here as they are earned, with agency, scope, period, value range, and a customer contact. Not testimonials. Selected technical work samples are available on request, with commercial references subject to customer permission. Key personnel experience above is offered in the interim under FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv).
If you are evaluating us for a first award and need risk reduced, the honest options are a micro-purchase-sized pilot, a fixed-price task with milestone acceptance, or a subcontract under a prime who carries the performance risk. We are happy to propose any of the three.
