While at Digital Risk, I have developed a new technology called Veritas (patent pending) that is a new mortgage risk management technology that combines the assessment and analysis of manufacturing risk and defect with credit risk, including default and loss. This technology, the first of its kind, uses commercially available data and proprietary analytics to estimate in real time the propbability of manufacturing defect, default and loss. It is the result of a Big Data and Big Analytics technology program that involves the development and analysis of data across 10 million mortgage loans, each with over 7,000 attributes acquired from the analysis of 10+ information resources. The creation of Veritas has boosted the value of Digital Risk by $100+ Million and is now opening doors to new analytics applications in the mortgage space.

In this position, I developed a robust distressed mortgage asset evaluation, optimization and management tool (The WillCap Matrix). WillCap is a Big Data, Big Analytics application that evaluates the borrower's willingness and capacity to pay. WillCap leverages a unique blend of consumer credit, property information and local real estate market data to estimate loan level treatments and cash flows. WillCap can optimize loan modification terms to ensure the longest possible life, to identify the loan mod with the most net present value and/or price the loan for sale. This is a patented application; I am the patent holder. This product was purchased by money center banks to analyze their distressed asset population.
