R&D for real-time mining of breaking financial news from social media to provide traders with an edge with insights minutes to hours ahead of traditional mediaModeled source credibility, news-worthiness, and sentiment to identify important news in real-time using natural language processing, machine learning and statistical modelingBack-end development of pipeline and models into production using Java/Groovy and Ruby

During my PhD studies, I bounced around positions of being a teaching and research assistant based on the availability of funding. I've taught Java programming and discrete mathematics. I've done bioinformatics research at both the College of Natural Sciences and at the Cancer Center.Developed a classification method that combined the theory and methods of neural networks, kernel, and empirical Bayesian methods for small-to-medium sized datasets and applied it to the study of gene regulationModeled miRNA targeting to predict targets at the site- and UTR-levels by combining mutual information-based feature selection and a variety of machine learning methods

I had the pleasure of developing on many of the layers of the networking product Spirent TestCenter, from firmware to .NET GUI. I also performed QA for various networking protocols on the hardware and software in the networking lab.

Research in bioinformatics. Developed novel metagenomics classification tool using machine learning methods (cluster analysis, HMMs).

Developed the scripting layer of the networking product Spirent TestCenter.

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Computer Science

Worked on a fun dissertation developing a novel machine learning method and applying it to problems in molecular biology. Specifically I.
