• Regional and national econometric models and data analysis to identify underlying macro conditions (e.g. consumer spending, inflation, housing, etc.) affecting business performance.
• Responsible for production model scorecards and packaging forecast information for corporate officers and board of directors.
• Google Cloud Platform engineering and solution design (e.g pipelines, maintaining model registry, migrating VMs, stored procedures, etc.)

Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area

• Implemented an AWS-based PyTorch ML pipeline utilizing CUDA (GPU processing) to forecast long-range expected Nielsen Ratings (i.e. supply-side), expected market value of commercial inventory and expected sold units.
• NBEATS (Recurrent Neural Network, “RNN”) from the DARTS library for forecasting TV Ad Sales. NBEATS maximizes interpretability (2 layers: 1 for Trend, 1 for Seasonality) with the appropriate balance of high precision.
• TRANSFORMER from the DARTS library to model 1 Supply Series (Nielsen Ratings) + 1 Demand Series (Average Commercial Unit Price) concurrently.
• Used to support senior leadership’s financial / cash-flow planning.

• Sold $2.6m in work (conservatively)
• Implemented the budget forecasting platform utilized by the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) to support the Mission Act (https://missionact.va.gov/)
• The platform integrates 3 authorization and 5 claims processing systems across 6 servers and 11 independent schemas.
• The forecasting system uses two algorithms to model the sequence of VA spending on purchased, outpatient medical care:
• (1) a hierarchical time series regression system to predict national demand for care outside of the VA system. It predicts every possible type of outpatient care for all 129 VA offices in the US.
• (2) using the demand predicted by (1) as an input, together with dozens of other predictors, an ensemble supply model (Multi-Task Elastic Net and Multi-Target Random Forest*) predicts the resulting claims payments over.

• Data architect and senior data scientist for a financial management tool used by over 100 offices within Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA). Designed to improve compliance with GAAP standards, in 2017, the system led.
• Created the back-end infrastructure (R & SSIS) that integrated data from 5 VA enterprise applications. Trained and deployed to production 3 machine learning models (xgboost and elasticnet) to estimate purchased care.
• Created automated sampling package to evaluate business operations errors for VA’s purchase care dialysis program (R & SSIS). The package parameterized confidence level, margin of error and estimated failure rate.

• Created an association rules procedure (a priori algorithm) to mine large-scale survey of customer perceptions.Within a dataset containing 400 questions for 12,000 respondents, procedure detected 5 response.
• Created a framework to select an optimal basket of test markets for a digital pilot program. The process evaluated 100+ markets’ revenue growth and competitive conditions to U.S. averages across 60 measures of.
• Created an Extract/Transform/Load (ETL) process to integrate data sources representing 20 distinct media channels (e.g. National Broadcast, Cable, Syndication, etc.). The final dataset was used to identity the optimal.

Austin, Texas Area

• Led data integration and credit model development for online lender using MySQL, R and SAS. Project included creating an Extract/Transform/Load (ETL) process to load 1 terabyte of files from 5 credit bureau sources..
• Developed User Activity DataMart. SSIS package automated activity logs ETL, generated a synthetic user key to track actions across source data and structured data for time series analysis.

Hartford, Connecticut Area

• Implementation of Stochastic Boosting (ADA.M1 Algorithm) to optimize flag-based auditing procedure applying over 30 filters. Boosted tree-based ensemble reduced time to output by 25 hours; a 50% increase in.
• Performed all Database Administration tasks for 3 terabyte pharmacy claims server. Responsibilities included all Extract/Transform/Load (ETL), development (T-SQL), maintenance (SSIS), ad hoc reporting, and tuning.
• Design and development of case management data model and operational reporting solution, including ETL into Oracle DataMart. Data model successfully integrated client’s operational activity data with case history.

United States

• Led migration of mainframe SAS/DB2 Encounter Reporting System (ERS) to SAS/Oracle EDW solution. Responsibilities included development of views, testing, SQL Development Standards Guide and Extract/Transform/Load (ETL).
• Delivered SAS OLAP cube to automate data profiling review and analysis.
• Led migration of SAS Hospital Administrative Profile System to SAS/Teradata EDW solution. Completed this project without access to the original data source.

Houston, TX

• Re-engineered specialty benefits dashboard review process for national health plan. Objectives included replacing manual QA process with Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA)-based stored procedures.
• Led statistical analysis of specialty benefits utilization. including custom metrics for radiation therapy, general utilization and provider quality.
• Using T-SQL and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), created Ad Hoc and Scheduled Reports.
