David Forester is a senior data scientist and AI data engineer with nine years focused on building and operating production-grade data infrastructure for an AI/ML group supporting government missions. He designs and maintains end-to-end data pipelines, ETL, storage, security, and monitoring while also owning on-prem GenAI virtual assistant services. His background spans defense and sensor-focused engineering roles dating back to laboratory management and physics training, giving him a strong grounding in experimental rigor and systems engineering. Based in Huntsville, Alabama, he blends hands-on implementation with operational visibility to keep models and data reliable and auditable. Colleagues know him for pragmatic solutions that balance compliance and performance, and for a lighthearted polymath streak—his GitHub bio jokingly underlines that he moves between data engineering, data science, and ML engineering as needed.
