I love solving hard problems that lead to personal learning and growth. A key theme of my career is solving business and technical problems using large data and machine learning.♦ Work with business leaders to identify problems, map the problems to appropriate technologies, and often led the effort to build the solutions. This can be seen in my work as Chief Data Scientist at Dtex Systems, as the CTO at Digital Jones, and as the co-founder and CTO at Neta.♦ Keep on top of evolving technologies and use them as needed to build solutions. I not only lead the effort but also build significant parts of the solutions.♦ Advise start ups and VC firms. VC firms have used me for technical due diligence on prospective investments. For example, serve as technical advisor to startups like iHealthFrontier (an ACO infrastructure and analytics company).LINKEDIN: Created a novel data validation system (Data Sentinel). Led a cross-organizational team to build and launch a company-wide data validation service.DTEX SYSTEMS: Provided thought leadership on using Data Science in Dtex's products. Standardized analysis on the Scala/Spark platform. Designed and implemented a risk scoring application that brought processing times down by a factor of 100. The platform that I built for storing analytic data is used in multiple applications.DIGITAL JONES: Led the development of a knowledge base and inference algorithm that allowed us to build 10x more product guides.NETA: Co-founded, built technology, presented to customers and investors, led the due diligence for the acquisition by Infoseek.INTERNET PROFILES: Built a new version of the Web log analysis system that resulted in a 10x speed up with a 5x decrease in memory usage.SGI: Designed and implemented key pieces of MineSet (one of the first data mining and visualization products).I have worked with Scala, Spark, Java, Python, and R using data processing and analytics on multiple projects and business applications.
