• Build, enhance, and deploy user-centered dashboards and analytical tools in platforms such as Army Vantage and power/BI tools.

• Translate raw prototype test parameters, M&S outputs, and trade-space trade-offs into clear, intuitive visualizations.

• Monitor performance trends to support the long-term maintainability and continuous improvement of warfighter systems.

• Collaborate directly with Government engineering teams and program managers to define operational requirements and key performance parameters (KPPs).

• Identify critical data sources and align visualization metrics with mission goals.

• Develop and deliver structured training programs for Government personnel covering dashboard usage, metric interpretation, and long-term sustainment.

• Conduct hands-on technical workshops teaching Government personnel how to build, modify, and manage dashboards independently within Army-approved environments.
