Harnessing the power of AI/ML, modeling and simulation, and financial markets in the broad public interest.California Nonprofit Organization. Currently recruiting partners and directors.

Developing, testing, and implementing trading models for financial derivatives that maximize risk-adjusted returns. Quant stuff. HITL stuff. Human behavior prediction using the world’s greatest dataset. I have also been fortunate to work with clients across government, industry, and academia, and sustain a focus on IT/software development, contract development, and financial management. My work brings together statistics and data science techniques in predictive analytics, computational modeling and simulation, and organizational theory, drawing from more than 20 years of experience. Prior to consulting, I have held senior roles in business and product development, program management, and technology research and development. My research background and academic publications focus on data-driven approaches in decision science, complexity, network theory, and artificial intelligence, with a proposal acceptance rate in the 90th percentile.

Behavior Modeling and Simulation, Network Science, Computational Social Science, Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics and Data Visualization. Much of my work focuses on the high dimensionality modeling of large group behavior and developing data acquisition techniques to support behavioral simulations for individual- and group-level predictions. I analyzed complex socio-technical and critical infrastructure systems, focusing on financial services and banking. I investigated the use of agents embedded in financial transactions to speed clearing, advance transparency, and control risk.

I have been running Mainline Entertainment, starting as a small music label, since I was a kid. I have worked as a producer, songwriter, composer, arranger, session musician, and audio engineer with well over 100 artists. Over the years we have produced and recorded musicians spanning styles from dance, electronica, punk and metal to string ensembles and singer/songwriter folk artists. Mainline Entertainment Studios, a hybrid Pro Tools recording, production, and post-production facility, has moved with me over the years and it currently located in Monterey, California. I am a recording artist and writer with ASCAP, and have written and co-written hundreds of songs for a wide variety of musicians, performance groups, and styles. Mainline Entertainment Productions & Publishing is also registered as an ASCAP Publishing Company.
