My primary contribution to Osperity platform was a reduction of cost and increase in iteration speed in the the area of machine learning. This was a long term effort, with continual stakeholder engagement. At a high level, work completed included:- mapping existing software and data components as they pertain to anaytic and machine learning pipelines- gathering historical context- measuring the performance of existing machine learning models - design, prototype, implementation, and testing of enhancements- socializing process changes with team members,- training new data science team membersIn addition, I made extensive contributions to the cloud and edge application software, including containerization of legacy applications, and design and implementation of customer facing APIs and data pipelines.
