Myles S. Weber Navy program manager, Appian corp.

At Work: Ensures NKO's technical capability meets the Navy's business requirements, and manages Appian's consulting team and subcontractors

responsible for NKO.

At Home: Single. Hobbies include rooting for Chicago Cubs. (Believes this is their year.)

Alma Mater: University of Illinois at Chicago, B.S. in information and decision sciences.

How He Got Here:

2000 to present: Consultant and project manager, Appian Corp.

1997 to 2000: Independent Web developer and business intelligence consultant

1996 to 1997: Reported market information for brokerage firm at the Chicago Board of Trade

Mouthing Off:

Greatest challenge for NKO: "Addressing every requested change to the system. It's a good problem to have because it shows the Navy is using NKO and heavily relies on it to function on a daily basis."

Toughest moment during NKO project: "Picking up the acronyms for Navy organizations and systems."

If only I had a bigger budget for NKO: "Redundancy and failover can always be increased."

Worst high-tech invention ever: "Electric can opener. Using elbow grease is much more efficient."
