About Samantha Banuelos

Leading the end-to-end architecture and delivery of a patent-protected, AI-powered workflow automation platform built for legal-tech, compliance, and high-integrity enterprise environments. I design intelligent systems that replace fragmented manual processes with automated, audit-ready, and scalable workflows.I engineered the platform’s AI-driven documentation engine by integrating classification models, entity extraction, structured interviews, compliance validation, automated QA, intelligent routing, and workflow orchestration. These capabilities reduce manual workload by 50–70%, accelerate decision cycles, and eliminate documentation errors in environments where precision and regulatory alignment are critical.I developed the platform’s ontology, knowledge models, data structures, and logic engines supporting automated intake, risk scoring, decision pathways, and human-in-the-loop governance. To enable adoption across high-compliance industries, I created API frameworks, webhook integrations, and microservice patterns suited for legal-tech, insurance, and government environments.Beyond architecture, I lead product strategy, systems mapping, requirements engineering, UI/UX direction, and technical documentation for patent submission, investor evaluation, and enterprise onboarding. I define the product roadmap across security, scalability, auditability, multi-tenant deployment, and future AI/ML expansion.Previously, I served as Senior Project Engineer / Program Manager IV at Boeing Defense Systems, overseeing multi-million-dollar engineering, modernization, and digital transformation programs across the B-1, B-52, and Air Mobility portfolios. I led cross-functional engineering, operations, software, and supply-chain teams delivering mission-critical upgrades across classified and non-classified systems.I integrated complex requirements, safety standards, and compliance criteria into unified delivery plans adopted across multiple aerospace programs. My work supported major digital transformation initiatives, including AI-aligned automation, ERP/PLM modernization, and mission-readiness optimization. I authored engineering documentation, interface control packages, and technical baselines still used across the enterprise. I partnered with senior leadership and government customers to manage risk, define scope, and deliver milestones supporting national defense objectives. I served as a liaison across engineering, manufacturing, flight-test, and sustainment environments to ensure continuity and mission success.
