Summary
Abigail Byram is a data architecture leader and Senior Director of Data Operations with eight years of experience designing scalable, governed cloud data platforms and enterprise data meshes.

A Top Secret-cleared professional, she has delivered data strategies and implementations for defense, finance, and education clients, and currently drives domain modeling and data sciences at Stride, Inc. Abigail also teaches introductory data science and computing at VCU, layering practical curriculum and interactive Jupyter labs for diverse student cohorts. Fluent in both technical execution and stakeholder alignment, she embeds governance as a default rather than an afterthought.
