Data Science & AI
Production AI/ML operationalized inside federal mission workflows.
NLT data scientists build and operationalize AI/ML models inside production federal disaster-response workflows, statistical programs, and decision-support tools. The team works across the full lifecycle — data engineering, model development, validation, deployment, and operations. Not pilots. Live decision support.

AI/ML algorithms operationalized inside production federal workflows. CPARS Exceptional with the U.S. Census Bureau Center for Economic Studies. CPARS Very Good with FEMA OCIO. Not pilots. Live decision support running in agencies today.
Technology Stack
Past Performance
Production AI/ML — Named Engagements
FEMA — Forecasted Flood Depth Grid Model
FEMA · 2017–present · Active
NLT designed and deployed the Forecasted Flood Depth Grid Model — an AI/ML system that predicts inundation extent and structural damages by analyzing real-time stream and tide gauge readings, national elevation data, and structures data. Enhanced in 2021 with ICEYE satellite-based Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) impact analytics for near-real-time damage assessment.
FEMA — Earthquake Exposure & Damage Assessment Model
FEMA · 2018–present · Active
Production AI model that predicts exposure and estimates damages to structures based on real-time earthquake readings, structures and land-use data, damage functions, and social vulnerability measures. Now integrated into the NLT Seismic Mapper platform.
U.S. Census Bureau — CED Disclosure Avoidance Engineering
Census Center for Enterprise Disclosure · 2022–present · CPARS Exceptional
Engineering and research support for advanced disclosure avoidance methods — protecting individual privacy in statistical data products while preserving analytical utility. One of the two largest single awards in NLT history, captured in the same year as the CES Collaboration Project.
