Accelerating Research Insight with Responsible GenAI
Supporting a federally-focused research organization
Developed and led a comprehensive GenAI enablement program for analysts and engineers, combining workshop delivery, pipeline development, governance design, and observability infrastructure.
The challenge
Research analysts needed faster access to data insights but lacked the tools and skills to use AI effectively, and the organization required strong accountability and responsible-use standards given the nature of its mission.
Outcomes
- Analysts equipped with practical, repeatable AI workflows they could apply independently
- Production NL-to-SQL interface with documented access controls and evaluation layer
- Published responsible use guidance that became an internal reference standard
- Observability infrastructure providing ongoing visibility into AI system adoption
Approach
- Led hands-on workshops in Python and AWS Athena covering responsible GenAI use, data querying, and ethical integration practices
- Developed NL-to-SQL pipelines that allowed analysts to query structured data using natural language, with access controls and schema-level guardrails
- Created training materials, reference guides, and repeatable workflow templates to accelerate independent adoption
- Designed and published guidance on attribution, audit logging, and content safety to support compliance and mission alignment
- Conducted outreach and consultations with mission owners to surface evolving needs and align AI services accordingly
- Delivered observability dashboards to track usage, system performance, and adoption patterns across the organization
