Summary
Ken Boling is a Senior Data Scientist with nine years of experience applying data science and engineering in high-security government environments, currently delivering solutions at Booz Allen Hamilton in Alexandria, VA. He holds a PhD in Geology from the University of Tennessee and leverages that research background to solve complex signal- and structure-detection problems with practical ETL, CI/CD, and Databricks-based pipelines. Ken has migrated critical analytics workloads (including Tableau backends) into cloud-native platforms, built attention-getting ETL processes adopted by multiple agencies, and maintains customized version-control workflows under TS-SCI with CI-poly clearance. His early work includes computer vision and SLAM for DARPA SubT and hands-on lab instrumentation and XRF calibration, giving him an uncommon blend of physical-science rigor and production ML engineering. A Databricks Certified Machine Learning Professional who advanced into an "Advanced Data Scientist/Researcher" role, he combines field-tested experimental design with pragmatic delivery in constrained operational settings.
