Summer Rankin is a senior principal Solutions Architect with 8+ years building AI and MLOps solutions for federal clients across health, policy, and forensics, currently designing real-time data and behavioral tracking systems at SAIC. She blends hands-on model development (LLMs, multimodal research, anomaly detection, graph DBs) with strategic program leadership that has secured follow-on funding for DoD, Commerce, and FDA engagements. A dedicated instructor and curriculum developer, she translates complex cybersecurity and data science concepts into practical training delivered at BlackHat and GTK Cyber. Summer has scaled distributed teams across six time zones—growing a Hawaii CTO cohort from 3 to 30+—and pairs that people-first leadership with a research background in cognitive neuroscience, giving her a rare perspective on human-centered AI.
