• Apply infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform/CloudFormation/Ansible) to deliver repeatable, compliant environments with shift‑left security and automated evidence for ATO.

Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

• Lead model selection, training, tuning, and evaluation (supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement learning); apply NLP, computer vision, and agentic/GenAI approaches to mission use cases.
