  Contribute to initiatives focused on scaling knowledge and building artifacts that can support downstream machine learning and AI documentation automation use cases.
• Participate in Strategic Workshops & Offsites:
  Ideally attend a July in-person or virtual offsite with technical leadership to help align on draft templates and document priorities.
