Translate business and technical requirements into epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria; lead Agile delivery ceremonies; coordinate architects, engineers, QA, security, and stakeholders; and manage integrations, APIs, databases, cloud modernization, testing, releases, risks, and dependencies. Ensure solutions meet federal security, accessibility, compliance, performance, and reliability requirements.

Develop and deploy production AI/ML and generative AI solutions for FDA modernization initiatives. Build RAG pipelines, LLM applications, machine learning models, APIs, data pipelines, and MLOps/LLMOps capabilities. Evaluate model quality, implement responsible AI safeguards, monitor production systems, and integrate AI services into enterprise applications. Collaborate with data, software, cloud, and product teams in an Agile environment while documenting solutions and mentoring less-experienced engineers.
