Samuel Miller
Brigade Commander, U.S. Army Reserve · Knowledge Management Specialist at SAIC / USINDOPACOM J7. Turning operational complexity into automated clarity — from joint command floors to software.
About
I'm an operations leader with deep experience in complex, high-consequence environments — from commanding Army units across the Pacific to running revenue analytics at Intel. The common thread: turning ambiguous problems into structured systems that actually get used.
At USINDOPACOM J7, I helped shape the vision for what an AI-enabled joint command could look like — not just automating tasks, but rethinking how an organization generates, tracks, and acts on information. I drove automation that saved the directorate 36 man-days a year, built Power BI dashboards that compressed hours of reporting into minutes, and championed a culture of continuous process improvement.
Outside of my day job, I build. The projects on this site represent real tools — running locally, solving real problems — in AI orchestration, personal finance, military staff automation, and data collection.

Featured Work
J7 AI & Automation Initiative
As a Joint Training Operations Specialist, I served as the primary driver of automation and AI adoption within USINDOPACOM's training directorate. My contribution was less about writing code and more about generating strategic momentum: defining what the AI-enabled command could look like, building cross-functional buy-in, and pioneering concrete tools that demonstrated value quickly.
Key Contributions
- ▸Led the J72 Innovation Working Group, championing the vision for an AI-enabled joint training command across leadership levels
- ▸Built Power BI dashboards that reduced training compliance reporting from hours to under 5 minutes, with drill-down to individual completion status
- ▸Integrated disparate data sources to give leadership real-time visibility into AI training compliance across the command
- ▸Leveraged Power Automate to streamline workflows, driving measurable workforce efficiency gains across the directorate
Official Travel Request Tool
Government travel requests are paper-heavy, error-prone, and manually intensive. I built an automation database using Microsoft Office that eliminated hundreds of hours of data entry annually — and went further by embedding data-driven forecasting directly into the budget request process. The result: receipts-backed forecasts that gave leadership real evidence for budget justification.
What It Does
- ▸Automated hundreds of travel request submissions per year, eliminating manual data entry and reducing approval cycle time
- ▸Saved 36 man-days per year in data input and approvals across the directorate
- ▸Integrated historical travel data to generate evidence-based budget forecasts — replacing gut-feel estimates with receipt-backed projections
- ▸Built additional automation hooks to handle downstream repetitive processes triggered by travel approvals
"We bring the receipts" — data-driven forecasting replacing assumption-based government budget requests with verifiable, historical evidence.
Projects
Personal tools built outside of my day job — each one solving a real problem. All run locally; some will be made publicly accessible as demos.
Personal Finance Dashboard
DemoMulti-account aggregation with AI-assisted categorization
Full-stack finance app with React frontend and FastAPI/SQLite backend. Connects to financial accounts, imports CSV statements, categorizes transactions, and tracks spending across accounts with receipt OCR support.
Army Staff Assistant
Live5 specialized sub-agents, Army-regulation-aware outputs
Multi-agent AI system built on the OpenAI Agents SDK. An orchestrator routes requests to five specialized sub-agents covering awards drafting, evaluations, email composition, reminders, and memoranda — following Army writing standards.
AMC Space-A Flight Scraper
LiveReal-time schedule extraction for military Space-A travel planning
Automated scraper for AMC Space-Available military flight schedules. Uses Playwright for browser automation and custom PDF parsing to extract flight data and output structured CSV/JSON for planning.
Job Application Dashboard
LiveNo-backend approach — Google Sheets as the data layer
React/Vite dashboard that pulls job application data from Google Sheets and provides a visual tracking interface. Features local persistence, status tracking, and pipeline visibility across active applications.
AI Ops System (n8n)
In ProgressEnd-to-end ops automation for personal and professional workflows
Three-workflow personal operations system built in n8n Cloud: a social media curation pipeline, an AI process breakdown agent, and a voice orchestrator — all connected to OpenAI for intelligent routing and summarization.
