• Contribute to relevant open source communities and represent Defense Unicorns as a technical peer

• AI-assisted search across governed mission data --- the same RAG pattern proven in production to support of the US Navy Submarine programs, productized and made repeatable
• Access control enforcement that is enforced by the platform, not by convention --- applications get what they're authorized for and nothing else
