My passions are statistics and programming. I enjoy learning from data, developing new tools, and sharing insights with others. I have a background in statistics, physics, and computer science. # DATA SCIENTIST and STATISTICIAN- Earned Ph.D. in statistics with focus on computational methods using R and C.- Applied statistical methods from computational statistics, multivariate analysis, machine learning, categorical data analysis, generalized linear models, and experimental design.- Created several novel statistical techniques for receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, which measure performance of classifier, recommender, and diagnostic algorithms.- Derived sophisticated health assessment for individual risk of major preventable diseases and streamlined into universal score that controls for unchangeable risk factors.# SOFTWARE DEVELOPER and SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR- Developed programs for statistics, medicine, and physics in C/C++, R, SAS, Python, and Ruby.- Built health startup's product, web-based software application, with R, Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, cloud services, and external APIs.# STARTUP CO-FOUNDER and CTO- Co-founded health care company that optimizes and delivers financial incentives on employers' behalf to employees for controlling risk of preventable diseases.- Released beta product to 500+ users.# PHYSICS- Earned master's and bachelor's degrees in physics.- Conducted research in particle physics for SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator), including developing algorithms to track elementary particles, and LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN.- Taught physics at University of California, Santa Barbara.- Edited revision of Feynman Lectures on Physics for Pearson Addison-Wesley.
