  • Fraud detection, fraud prevention, financial crime analytics, or program integrity.
  • Federal benefit programs, grants, loans, healthcare, unemployment insurance, emergency assistance, disaster relief, or other public-sector programs.
  • Risk modeling, anomaly detection, entity resolution, predictive analytics, and statistical modeling.
  • Cloud analytics environments such as Azure Databricks, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS), Power BI, Git repositories, or Lakehouse architectures.
