Dominic Critchlow

I’m a data scientist and technologist at Booz Allen Hamilton, where I lead teams developing applied AI and data systems for defense and critical infrastructure clients across Europe and Africa. My work centers on making machine learning useful, resilient, and deployable—especially in operational environments where reliability and security are non-negotiable.

I got my start studying Physics and Computer Science at Austin Peay State University in Tennessee. My early research involved launching high-altitude weather balloons to collect atmospheric data, which led to an internship at NASA’s Balloon Research and Development Lab on Wallops Island, Virginia.

Since then, I’ve grown into roles that blend engineering, strategy, and technical leadership—helping organizations adopt AI in ways that are practical, ethical, and forward-looking. I’m especially interested in how we can responsibly scale emerging technologies in government and mission-driven settings.

Outside of work, I still enjoy building web tools, experimenting with data visualizations, and chasing down quirky side projects online. I believe that good technology should solve real problems—and, whenever possible, spark a little curiosity too.
