- Building web applications (e.g., Streamlit apps) that automate manual planning workflows, enabling self-service scenario modeling and decision support.
- Designing and implementing optimization models and solvers to improve network-level planning decisions (e.g., capacity allocation, resource balancing).
- Working with technology teams to extract, transform, and load data from a variety of data sources using SQL, Python, and AWS technologies.
- Recognizing and adopting best practices in reporting, analysis, data integrity, test design, validation, and documentation.
- Following software engineering best practices for AI and application development, including version control (Git/code repositories), code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, security compliance, and responsible AI principles.
