• Tool & Process Enhancement: Identify gaps in existing data pipelines and propose enhancements to improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability of intelligence workflows.
• Compliance & Security Clearance Management: Maintain Top Secret/SCI clearance with polygraph, adhering to strict government standards for handling classified information.
