  • Integrate ML models, APIs, and automated pipelines into mission-tailored Foundry environments, enabling Sailors, analysts, and operational commands to rapidly access and act on decision-ready data.
  • Collaborate with Navy program managers, Fleet users, and technical teams to translate mission needs into actionable technical plans that enhance operational outcomes, readiness reporting, and mission execution.
  • Support Agile development cycles and DevSecOps processes to ensure secure, dependable, and scalable mission analytics aligned with Navy digital modernization priorities.
  • Facilitate training, workshops, and data-literacy engagements that strengthen analytic proficiency and AI readiness across Navy user groups and mission communities.
