DeAngelo Kelly

Engineer and technical leader with an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning and 10+ years building, deploying, and validating physical systems in high-consequence environments — nuclear power generation, semiconductor capital equipment, and industrial robotics. Field-deployed robotic inspection systems at commercial nuclear sites, built alpha-stage manufacturing machines from specification through production, and led enterprise AI tool deployment and responsible-AI policy at a global semiconductor manufacturer. Combines hands-on equipment and robotics experience with regulatory compliance, audit, and program leadership across nuclear, semiconductor, and industrial manufacturing environments.

Environmental, Health & Safety Coordinator — AI & Digital Transformation Lead at Lam Research (2023-04 – Present)

Serve as EHS business partner to supervisors, managers, and directors across manufacturing, engineering, and R&D, providing risk assessments, compliance guidance, and investigation support that shapes operational decisions.

• Built and lead the site Safety Ambassador and Safety Chairperson network — recruiting, training, and coaching employee safety leaders who drive departmental observations, inspections, and engagement campaigns.
• Led evaluation, beta testing, and rollout of enterprise AI and EHS platforms (ETS Bot, EHS Bot, Intelex) across global sites; administer Intelex configuration, reporting, and corrective-action workflows.
• Build executive dashboards and scorecards in Power BI tracking leading and lagging safety indicators, giving site leadership visibility into trends, open corrective actions, and program performance.
• Authored and delivered global enablement on responsible and ethical AI use, covering ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, establishing acceptable-use standards for a regulated manufacturing environment.
• Support ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 management system readiness and internal/external audits through documentation control, gap assessment, evidence collection, and corrective-action closure.
• Drive Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) initiatives including self-assessments, employee involvement, hazard prevention, and management commitment elements, plus site walkthroughs and program evaluations.
• Own machine and equipment safety across the manufacturing floor — hazard identification, risk assessment, and control verification on automated and robotic equipment.
• Manage incident reporting, root-cause investigation, and CAPA closure, reducing recurrence by [ADD %].
• Facilitate Safety Committees, Emergency Response Team drills, leadership safety walks, RMBWAs, and industrial hygiene activities including noise monitoring.

Chief Technology Officer at Music Sports League (early-stage venture) (2017-05 – Present)

• Own technology strategy, architecture, and roadmap as a member of the executive committee; manage technology budget and high-level engineering KPIs.
• Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies into the product; implemented data security controls protecting user information.

Artificial Intelligence Engineer at Mentorship Inc. (2022-11 – Present)

• Built and deployed machine learning and reinforcement learning models to production, spanning data pipeline through serving infrastructure.

Engineering Technician — Advanced Equipment Build at Acara Solutions / Lam Research (2021-06 – 2023-04)

• Built alpha-stage semiconductor capital equipment from engineering specifications, technical documentation, and 3D simulation models, supporting first-article production.
• Partnered with design engineers to identify and resolve technical discrepancies, feeding hardware design and functionality improvements back into the product.
• Supported New Product Introduction end to end — concept through production — including rigorous test, quality assurance, and continuous improvement cycles.

Nuclear Robotics Field Service Technician at Westinghouse Electric Company / WECTEC (2015-08 – 2021-06)

• Deployed, operated, and maintained robotic inspection systems performing Eddy Current non-destructive testing on steam generators at commercial nuclear power plant sites — full field lifecycle from mobilization through decontamination and demobilization.
• Researched robotic application parameters, performed integration testing, and diagnosed and corrected defects in robot design and function under live outage schedule pressure.
• Applied ALARA principles, INPO standards, Human Performance Tools, and Nuclear Safety Culture requirements in radiological and hazardous work environments.
