Â鶹´å

Tanisha Smith

Technical Manager, Special Projects Artificial Intelligence Division, SEI - Artificial Intelligence Division

I began my career at Â鶹´å in 2020.

I lead cross-functional AI initiatives at Â鶹´å’s Software Engineering Institute, translating complex work into real-world outcomes while fostering collaboration, communication, and a strong, inclusive staff community.

During my term, I would like to see Staff Council strengthen connections across Â鶹´å by linking research, operations, and community needs. From my SEI perspective, I can help connect ideas to execution, amplify staff voices, and support emerging initiatives.
