Senior Technical Program Manager · Boston, MA
I build the programs, processes, and teams that don’t exist yet, and get them working across a lot of groups.
I’m Sean Feeney. I spent nearly 19 years at EMC and Dell Technologies, and most of that time I was the person brought in when something didn’t exist yet or wasn’t working. A CI/CD pipeline nobody owned. An architecture review board that had to be set up from scratch. A new edge platform that needed to get from early build to GA. I build it, get teams using it, and make sure it holds up after I hand it off.
I’m looking for my next senior TPM or program leadership role, in Greater Boston or remote.
Selected work
Dell NativeEdge, early build to GA
Dell Edge · 2021 to 2025I was on Dell NativeEdge (now Dell Distributed Private Cloud) from the Cloudify evaluation through GA in August 2023, then the 2.0 and 2.1 releases in 2024. While I was there, the Edge Solutions team created, tested, and released 31 blueprints, about 20 ISV partner integrations, and 16 orchestration plugins.
Edge Architecture Review Board
Dell Edge · 2021 to 2025I ran the Edge Architecture Review Board, where principal architects reviewed the platform’s technical direction. I also ran the PM Interlock for the Edge TPMs and linked all of the Solutions work into the portfolio in Jira Align.
CI/CD across 22 Scrum teams
Dell Digital, Services Connectivity/IoT · 2019 to 2020No pipeline existed and nobody owned one. I led the CI/CD transformation across 22 Scrum teams. When the dashboards looked green but the program wasn’t, I found contractors were hiding blockers, and fixed it with one-on-ones and an anonymous risk channel.
Brazil manufacturing proof of concept
Dell EdgeI managed the program behind a proof of concept manufacturing line in Brazil and its dedicated data center, which became the official validation of NativeEdge.
One lifecycle after the Dell and EMC merger
Dell EMC · 2015 to 2017I helped combine Dell’s and EMC’s product lifecycle processes into one 12-checkpoint release framework that ran under ISO 9001 audit, and helped build out the integration program management function.
1,000 case templates down to 25
EMC Remote Support Optimization · 2012 to 2013Support engineers were working from about 1,000 different case templates. I consolidated them down to 25.

Where it started
I got hooked on technology in a high school HTML class. From there I helped my school’s system administrator, built the networking department’s website at Bridgewater State, and earned a B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. After graduation I started freelancing through my web firm, Pixel Precise, building sites for clients like RJ Martin Custom Knives and Eastbay Custom Flyrods.
That mix of hands-on technical work and getting people organized around it is still how I work today.

Need someone to build it?
If your team needs structure for the first time, is coming out of a merger or reorg, or is standing up CI/CD, release management, or a program office, I’d like to talk.
