Daniel Burgess
@danielburgess
I build adopted AI, NLP, and enterprise analytics systems that save time, improve decisions, and account for human behavior.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Lockheed Martin, I lead finance digital transformation across 17+ automation, dashboarding, and AI/ML projects spanning five sites. My work has delivered $3M+ in documented savings and eliminated 2,132 analyst hours annually, including an NLP workflow that turns unstructured enterprise text into executive reporting on a nine-figure balance.
I led my business unit's first RAG deployment for financial classification and helped onboard the AI team that expanded the capability company-wide. I also architected a tariff-tracking framework adopted across Supply Chain, Contracts, Finance, and Sustainment, contributing to the 2026 Aeronautics Top Team Award.
Through Grounded Intelligences, I bring fractional analytics leadership, AI automation, and decision analytics to enterprises and small businesses. My data-science work is grounded in behavioral science, informed by graduate training in organizational and counseling psychology and a decade of family-therapy practice, so I build systems people actually use.
