Build AI-powered data products
- Deliver data-based products to external customers, including interactive data analysis and investigation platforms, data quality reports, statistical analysis, and visualizations that turn complex findings into clear stories
- Build AI into VIA's data products, for example through automated insights, anomaly detection, AI-assisted data quality checks, and natural-language interfaces over operational data
- Evaluate the quality and reliability of AI/ML outputs against domain expectations, and design the human-in-the-loop checks that keep our data products trustworthy
Oversee data pipelines
