Want to unlock AI's potential in your organization? Skip the brainstorms and go all in with an AI Hackathon! In this final installment of the Applied AI series, CMO Courtney Baker is joined by CEO David DeWolf, and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao to break down why AI hackathons might be your best tool for driving adoption, sparking collaboration, and building lasting impact. Whether you're a tech startup or a professional services firm, this episode gives you the blueprint. Special guest Jeff Gallimore, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer of Excella, shares best practices from their GenAI-focused hackathons—including how engaging clients as judges and building cross-functional teams helped move ideas from prototype to production. From enabling constraints to cultural buy-in, Jeff explains how hackathons can be more than just a creative break—they can be a launchpad for real outcomes. Courtney, David, and Mohan reflect on their own hackathon experiences and offer strategic advice on making hackathons successful—from aligning with your roadmap to ensuring outputs are built to scale. Plus, how non-engineers can thrive in AI innovation thanks to tools like Canva and prompt engineering. All that PLUS Pete Buer breaks down the rise and fall (and jailbreak) of the Humane AI Pin.

Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com We all know the quote from Peter Drucker, "If you can measure it, you can manage it."   It's pretty easy to apply when throwing a javelin but difficult when measuring success in complex software development projects. Today, we sat down with Jeff Gallimore, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer and founder of Excella. He brings with him decades of experience collaborating with teams on successful federal projects. We start by noting the fallacy of using one metric to measure success. While completing the initiative on time might make an agency administrator happy, that will change rapidly if compliance is not achieved, and scaling will break the system into pieces. Jeff has seen breakthroughs using a framework called DORA, DevOps Research and Assessment). The key metrics are deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, and failed deployment recovery time.  These metrics, now part of Google, are research-based and predictive of IT and organizational outcomes. They emphasize the importance of a holistic approach, avoiding single-metric focus, and the role of leadership and culture in fostering high-performing teams

We are at the point where Artificial Intelligence is splitting into several capabilities. These include Generative, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Predictive, and Deep Learning to name a few. Today, we sit down with Melisa Bardhi from Excella and look at one aspect of AI, Generative AI, and examine how it can be used responsibly for federal applications. In a short 25 minutes, she covers ·       Definitions ·       Beginnings ·       Security ·       Existing models ·       AI training Melisa begins by admitting that one must be cautious about data that is used to feed AI.  All humans have biases, whether intentional or not. One document she would like to share with the audience is Excella's Generative AI Use Policy.  Rather than starting with a major tech overhaul, it is suggested that an agency looks at a pilot with well-defined outcomes.  Generally, Generative AI should be deployed in a controlled environment. Security is foremost in the minds of all federal employees. The challenge is that many of the recommendations from laudable organizations like NIST can be hard to understand.  As a result, Excella has unpacked many security concepts in several blogs. A reference is Decoding Artificial Intelligence: A Simplified Guide to Key Terminology.   https://www.excella.com/insights/decoding-artificial-intelligence-a-simplified-guide-to-key-terminology When you read about ChatGPT producing summaries, this is an example of a model that is used in a wide-open environment.  Melisa suggests agencies test out pre-trained models through cloud platforms like Azure ML, AWS Sagemaker, and GCP AI Platform. Fortunately, we are bombarded with places to learn more about Generative AI.  During the interview, Melisa mentioned agencies should consider partnering with research institutions and groups like ACT-IAC. For example, you can start your Generative AI journey with an article titled “AI Understanding in the Federal Government.”  https://www.actiac.org/documents/ai-understanding-us-federal-government = = = Want to leverage you next podcast appearance? https://content.leadquizzes.com/lp/fk1JL_FgeQ Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com

When you use the term “data scientist” you normally think of an inarticulate introvert who is dazzled by numbers and has week social skills.  Well, this interview with Aaron Pujanandez from Excella may change the preconception.  We start off with referencing an article from the Harvard Business Journal from 2012.  This was probably a conceit eleven years ago, but in the last decade we have seen cheap storage, available compute, and ubiquitous fast Internet.  Perhaps the title is getting closer to the truth. We begin the interview with having Aaron differentiate “data analyst” from “data scientist.”  Many common themes including Python and being part of a team.  From Aaron's view, a data analyst may be charged with providing a visual depiction of data elements where a data scientist may delve into mor advanced topics like subtleties of Extract, Transform, Load, Machine Language, and code review.  One of the challenges faced by federal information professionals is the volume of data to ingest.  During the interview, Aaron talked about many of the aspects of selecting data and making sure it is safe in transit. Aaron provides the listener with his thoughts on selecting the right data, data quality, handling large volumes of data, data access and, finally, the all-important concept of being able to communicate findings to non-technical stakeholders. There are no silver bullets here – just an opportunity to approach large data sets and artificial intelligence from a perspective that will give actionable results.

Amanda Makulec, a public health data expert, joins Julia to share her heartbreaking story of losing her 3-month-old son.  As a researcher, Amanda had written an article regarding the advocacy of Covid vaccines during pregnancy. When her son passed during Covid, there was an instantaneous response on social media blaming Amanda for his death due to taking the Covid vaccine. This episode will make you mad, and it will make you cry, and it will make you see the subjects of social media posts with new compassion. Don't miss the story of the Makulec family.    IN THIS EPISODE:   [00:00] Julia shares an overview of Amanda Makulec's story [03:16] Amanda gives background on her family, career, the articles that got her noticed as a person qualified to discuss Covid data, and the research she read concerning vaccination and pregnancy [08:12] Julia and Amanda discuss the right and wrong way to approach the topic of losing a child with a grieving parent [13:26] Amanda is about to give birth to a daughter.  She shares a variety of feelings  [18:46] How do you tell your older child what happened to their little brother [22:28] Grieving is different for everyone.  When you should expect support and when you shouldn't ask [29:20] The misinformation spread on social media, the suffering it caused, and the timeline of events the week of Zander's death [39:42] Publishing the truth in the New York Times [46.57] Re-posting the lies on social media, but defending it, and how others reading the posts or hearing the story apply it to their own lives [53:43] Amanda discusses how she answers the complex question of how many children you have   KEY TAKEAWAYS:   Be very thoughtful when asking questions of someone who has experienced a loss. Of course, there is no good answer, but ‘How are you?'  isn't the right question unless you qualify it with ‘How are you today.?'  Passing gossip on social media under the guise that you are being helpful is harmful. Social media can be a dangerous medium when you can remain nameless and faceless. When a child asks about the death of someone, don't use metaphors as they went to sleep and didn't wake up.  It is better to be honest with a statement like their body stopped working, they died, and they aren't coming back.     RESOURCE LINKS:   Stork'd - Facebook   Stork'd - Instagram   Stork'd- YouTube    Amanda Makulec - Website   Amanda Makulec - LinkedIn   Amanda Makulec - Twitter   Amanda Makulec - New York Times Article   ABOUT : Amanda Makulec is the Senior Data Visualization Lead at Excella, where she coaches teams and develops user-centered data visualization products for federal, non-profit, and private sector clients.

If you toss a baseball anywhere inside the Washington, D.C. beltway, you will probably hit a company that develops software. Well, what differentiates them? Size?  Degrees the staff hold.  The number of contracts?  Today, we sit down with a couple of software development experts from Excella to talk about completing more that the bare minimum for a project. They argue, quite cogently, that quality is the characteristic that is the hardest to achieve and has the most lasting impact on federal projects. Two representatives from Excella are in the studio to argue their case.  Doguhan Uluca and Keith Mealo from Excella sat down to discuss everything from shift left to legacy to elite performance. The interview begins with a discussion about FISMA High Impact and FedRAMP.  From there, they provide opinions on memory safe-languages and cloud-native development. They both have extensive experience with highly sensitive software development projects. Some companies look at a project and set up a checklist and methodically go down the list.  When the minimum is completed, the project is complete. Keith Mealo suggests that one must have full-orb comprehension of the system.  When a person examines the consequence of deciding can you get an idea of solving the problem, not just checking a box. During the discussion, the moderator tried to draw a parallel between an automobile getting a State inspection. A mechanic may see   “examine the seat belt” and hit the check box.  A better inspector may ride with the driver to make sure the safety device is in use.  However, the master mechanic will notice a problem with the brakes while looking at the seat belt and not release the vehicle until the entire vehicle is safe.

Federal leaders will attest to the statement, “Security must be top of mind throughout an application's development.”  Today, we sat down with Jeff Gallimore, Chief Technology, and Innovation Officer at Excella to try to see how this noble concept can be applied to the amazingly complex and ever-changing world of federal technology. During the interview, Jeff highlights the areas of continuous improvement, naming conventions, and the shift left. If you were to watch a movie that entails police, you would undoubtedly encounter the abbreviation, CI, which stands for Confidential Informant. However, in today's discussion of cybersecurity and software, CI brings a new meaning – Continuous Improvement. Jeff Gallimore describes CI as integral to keeping a software project safe. The concept was broached in 2001 with the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. A group of developers met on a mountaintop and gave principles for improving software development. Near the top of the list was their concept of “responding to change,” what we call continuous improvement. Chances are, those experienced developers could not have anticipated the drastic increase in Internet usage and attacks.  All this highlights the need to adapt code. Moving on to other terms, when asked to differentiate between DevOps and DevSecOps, Jeff did not want to engage in the latest nomenclature debate.  He thinks that federal leaders should focus on outputs, not on defining processes. In the time that a team debates DevOps, they can be moving on to another issue. Another phrase was defined – Shift Left.  No, nothing to do with politics, this refers to the traditional way software developers would write code.  They would have a large whiteboard and diagram the process of moving from left to right. In this context, a “shift left” indicates an interest in including cybersecurity at earlier stages of the software development life cycle. Jeff also commented on the role of automation in managing large hybrid cloud projects. Automation can be offered as the remedy to this complicated circumstance. However, the range of point solutions and platforms merely reinforces the importance of humans understanding the flow of a project.

“Agile” is one of the buzziest workplace practices today - all about moving fast and breaking things, and iterating to perfection. The practice has picked up fans and detractors, as more and more companies have left waterfall methodologies in their wake. But is agile the way to go for all teams, and can it actually scale? Host Christine Dela Rosa moderates a fiery debate between Kelvin Yap and Dominique Ward over the limitations and opportunities of agile at scale.In this episode, you'll also hear from Lutron Electronics' Ben Bard about how scaling agile united his company's hardware and software teams, and from Excella's Nicole Spence-Goon about the empowerment that scaled agile gives teams. Harvard's Dr. Heidi K. Gardner joins to share her research about the failure rate of scaling agile; and agile coach Matthias Orgler illustrates the risks of being fake agile, or "fragile." For the transcript and downloadable takeaways, visit https://www.atlassian.com/blog/podcast/work-check.

In the wake of a big government contract win, IT consulting organizations frequently savor the luster of being awarded plus-sized opportunities that can validate a firm's leading edge solutions.  However, pursuing government "big game" contracts - can lead consulting organizations to very often set priorities according to the ebb and flow of the government's procurement processes instead of the leading edge solution development.  Here's where Excella of Arlington, Va appears to have stayed the course and continued to focus and invest in commercial opportunities related to Agile software development  - despite the  sizable obstacle traditional government procurement policies have been to the adoption of Agile approaches.  Finally, as the government's procurement practices begin to thaw and slowly became more accommodating to those circumstances under which Agile solutions are best adopted,  Excella's dedication to development and not policy appears to be paying off.  Join us when Excella co founder Steve Cooper explains the Agile opportunity his firm patiently nurtured - while knowing perhaps the government's appetite for innovation would someday soon influence its procurement menu options.
