Began my career as an engineer with IBM in Silicon Valley. I soon found myself based in Dallas, Texas, problem-solving out of the IBM Scientific Center. I left IBM to begin my own independent consultancy. In 1995, alongside UC Berkeley researchers, the Aeon team helped win the coveted Franz Edelman Award for Achievement in Advanced Analytics, Operations Research, and Management Science. Later my team and I built an internet-enabled mapping technology, which has seen many leading technology companies license these patents over the years. I sold the mortgage software division of my company to TransUnion. While working for TransUnion, I was pivotal in developing an automated home valuation model, much like Zillow, before leaving in 2008 and starting InMotion Software. Fun fact: there are 37 patents held by me personally or one of my companies.
