Hans W Vraga
Hans Vraga is a Web Informatics and Mapping (WIM) Program Coordinator with the Upper Midwest Water Science Center.
I enjoy the privilege of coordinating a group of highly skilled and motivated professionals in producing high-quality web applications in support of the USGS and other Federal partners' missions. My duties include scheduling and reporting on all WIM projects, serving as a member of the WIM Administration team, and acting as the primary point of contact with cooperators and external groups.
My brief professional history prior to this position:
I started my professional career as a CH-53E Super Stallion Helicopter Crew Chief in the United States Marine Corps. I turned ITIL disciple at the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) by way of a student position held while earning a BS in Computer Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After a few years full time working with the Systems Engineering and Operations group at DoIT wearing Configuration, Incident, and Change Management hats, I moved to WIM to head up Project Management duties.
