• Lead innovative research and development efforts, coaching and developing a team involved in coding, modeling, library building, anomaly detection, etc. Product owner for rare-event detection, expecting a patent for.
• Collaborated with government entities to identify components that require Condition-Based Maintenance plus (CBM+) to ensure weapons system functions properly, developing models in the absence of any data
• Created a first-ever production-level library using TensorFlow that is transferable beyond Python
• Established a new analytics business unit within Northrop-Grumman focused on developing analytics software that is not yet available in the market by predicting future needs, e.g., a time-series analysis tool
• Created a full-stack generalized time-series analysis toolkit that decreased annual costs by $4M and is currently being developed to serve ~100 satellite programs, including the Cygnus spacecraft, providing automated.
• Signed the Space Act Agreement with NASA to bilaterally share intellectual property to increase innovation in reliability analysis for thousands of components on a major weapon system

• Joined the college as an instructor for Tenure Track Faculty, consulting for the Bachelor of Software Engineering program. Developed and launched a new data science program. Taught various data science topics, including:
• Foundational probability and linear algebra for mining massive datasets
• Analysis of algorithms for analyzing massive data sets (e.g., locality sensitive hashing, Random Forests, SVM, etc.)
• Supervised and unsupervised learning applications on massive datasets (e.g., market basket analysis, similarity search, classification, etc.)

• Directed and managed all aspects of grant evaluation, including research, writing, data analysis, IRB protocols, data management, and budgets.
• Generated a 300-page report which was presented to the Utah state legislature, assessing and analyzing the efficiency of the grant evaluation process, as well as identifying areas of improvement
• Introduced new grant metrics, including developing data systems for longitudinal studies, to improve and expand evaluation
• Automated grant evaluation process by migrating from manual data input in Excel spreadsheets to a new process created using R & Python, reducing data processing time from months to a day and improving efficiency by 80%
• Compiled a report suggesting the way to resolve legislation gaps to fund the program

As part of a master’s thesis, studied and displayed transition patterns among individuals experiencing homelessness and developed data-driven methods to determine population change in the Utah homeless network. Built a data dashboard using Shiny for R to visualize data and transition patterns among homeless individuals, structuring all the data cohesively.
