Leidos GenAI

Capstone Partner

GenAI workspace that turns government BAAs and RFPs into mined requirements and drafted proposal sections—built with Leidos and DARPA I2O.

6-person capstone

Problem

Proposal teams spend weeks manually parsing dense solicitations. Missed SHALL / MUST language risks disqualification; handoffs live in spreadsheets and email.

Stack

  • Next.js 16
  • React 19
  • TypeScript
  • Supabase + SSR
  • OpenAI SDK
  • PostgreSQL

What we built

  • PDF ingest with OCR fallback → modal-verb requirement mining → org-context RAG → Claude drafts with per-block confidence
  • Grammarly-style highlighting for prescriptive language in the editor
  • Typed API contracts for generation payloads; Viewer / Editor / Admin fail-closed permissions
  • Dashboard KPIs: pipeline health and avg. confidence tracked at 73%

Outcome

  • End-to-end upload-to-draft prototype demoed to Leidos stakeholders
  • Shipped without a live BAA corpus—synthetic libraries, tight prompt contracts, explicit confidence labeling
  • My focus: frontend requirement UX, prompt tuning, and stakeholder-facing writeups
