Project Overview:
This dynamic project supports the FBI in strengthening its mission-critical operations through the delivery of integrated technical, operational, and analytical services. The focus is on enhancing the FBI's enterprise systems by maintaining secure cloud environments such as AWS and Azure, while enabling advanced data capabilities through scalable ETL pipelines and the migration of custom-developed tools into enterprise platforms. In parallel, the team engages in forward-leaning research on emerging technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, and mobile messaging applications to inform next-generation solutions. As part of its operational mission, the project provides direct case support and real-time data analysis for high-profile events managed by the 24/7 operations center.
