Developed Curating tool for Marketing in GWT and simulation of Recommendations using customer viewing data. Wrote algorithm descriptions and simulation results for presentation to Senior Management.Used R and RStudo to analyze customer viewing histories and generate reports with R Markdown. Accessed customer viewing data stored in Hadoop through R and Java using HiveQL and Spark. Developed Collaborative Filtering algorithm in Spark(Java and limited Scala) for finding similar Movies based on customer viewing histories.Developed Customer Clustering in Spark for grouping customers based on their viewing history. This was used for Marketing analysis and to reduce the work of making recommendations.Developed Sports Recommendations in Spark by forming vectors from viewing history and finding the closest Sports program.All the Spark development was done in Java and Python. Most of the Spark development was done at the RDD level for performance. Some less performance critical parts were done with DataFrame and Spark SQL. The data was stored in HDFS as Sequence Files.Keywords | Machine Learning | Data Analytics | Clustering | Spark | Hadoop | HDFS | Hive | Java | R | R Studio | Scala | Google Web Toolkit | GWT | Web Applicaication | Tomcat | JSON | Rest | Oracle SQL | Linux

Developed an Android Tablet based Kiosk application for retail stores. The customer would swipe their phone near the kiosk and receive store coupons sent to the phone, check-in with Foursquare or Facebook. The app was implemented as a native Android application, using Near Field Communications and JSON based REST requests to a web service. Raging Mobile was a small distributed development company. The developers and management never met face to face. All designs were communicated through written documentation and web meetings.Keywords | Android | Java | Android SDK | Eclipse | JSON | Web Service | Rest | My SQL

Lead Scrum meetings and organized the Agile development using Rally products.Keywords | C# | ASP .Net | MS SQL | Scrum | Agile

In an effort to learn about Android I have developed and continue to work on a Mini Golf Game. Since I am not a graphic artist I decided to concentrate on the Math and Physics of the game and see what could be accomplished on the Android phones. My first goal was to achieve smooth ball motion and I think I accomplished this. It was a challenge to get around the delays caused by the garbage collector. My second challenge was to achieve realistic ball reflections and motions. I did this without using any sine or cosine functions, just dot and cross products and only one square root per reflection calculation.You can find the game on the Android Market by searching for “brads mini golf”.It has been great fun watching the growth of the installed base and through the ad statistics I can get a good reading of the usage of the game. This has encouraged me to continue working on the game. The increasing revenue also helps!
