Teams at DEFCON AI

Build and maintain data and model layers for an AI decision‑support system: data ingestion, probabilistic record matching, calibrated scoring, provenance‑tracked retrieval and grounded generation, and secure production pipelines. Ensure explainability, auditability, and accredited deployment in a controlled government cloud environment.

Lead design and build of a hardened CI/CD delivery platform in an IL-5 government cloud. Own pipeline, IaC, container strategy, security controls, SBOM and authorization artifacts, run observability and release metrics, and guide a small platform team while supporting ATO/cATO processes and customer accreditation.

Lead software design, architecture, and delivery for a government program: own end-to-end build, integrate optimization/analytics, manage unclassified-to-secure transfer, coordinate PM/SMEs/data scientists, lead a small engineering team, and ensure deployments with CI/CD and security practices. Customer-facing role requiring hands-on coding and program accountability.
