SUMMARY:

• In recent years, I have been interested in data science, especially as it applies to problems in medicine. Although my career experience is long and varied and includes mathematics, publishing, computer science, and, the common threads that run through it are problem - solving and entrepreneurship. I love to create something new, whether it is analysis of a data set, a book, a software product, or a company. I derive great pleasure in solving difficult puzzles. At the same time, I love to get my hands dirty by attacking seemingly-intractable software bugs and data anomalies. I live to solve problems

Confidential

Data scientist

Responsibilities:

• Developed business analytics, data pipeline design, data cleaning. The project involved using real-time, big data streams from which I extracted information which could be used in planning web-advertising to telecom customers. I developed a custom algorithm for extracting the desired data and developed metrics to assess the effectiveness of the algorithm.

TECHNOLOGIES: Python, R, Sql, Pyspark

Confidential

Data scientist, C# Developer, ASP.NET Developer

Responsibilities:

• Developed a system for real-time environmental monitoring of production processes at an international manufacturing company, including real-time collection and storage of data from sensors, determination of production processes not within required environmental parameters, real-time notification of non-compliance conditions and filing of regulatory reports. Responsibilities included requirements gathering, architecture, programming, database design, sensor monitoring, dashboard design, web application design and implementation, system service design and implementation, design and implementation of performance analytics.

TECHNOLOGIES: C#, R, ASP.NET, SQL Server, AWS

Confidential

Data Scientist, Mathematician, Architect, Developer

Responsibilities:

• This R&D company was founded to develop innovative materials for helmets designed to lessen impact and rotational shear effects upon impact. I am assisting them in applying finite-element techniques to assess the effect of various helmet designs and to optimize helmet design given weight and dimension constraints. Initial material design has been accomplished and a series of patents applied for.

Confidential

Data Scientist, Mathematician, Architect, Developer, Statistical Analyst

Responsibilities:

• I co-founded (with Confidential ) a medical technology company devoted to digital data management of transcranial Doppler data via an innovative hardware/software system. This company was acquired in 2009.
• I single-handedly created 1.0 and 2.0 releases of software platform ( Confidential Manager), including architecture, implementation, testing, debugging and documentation. In addition, I participated in the entrepreneurial activities to get Confidential and its software established in the Confidential industry. As a creative application of our software platform, I developed analytical techniques (data mining) for creating and delivering web-based diagnostics based on transcranial Doppler clinical data.

Confidential

Data Scientist, Mathematician, Architect, Developer

Responsibilities:

• I developed an algorithm for automatic image analysis of transcranial Doppler images as part of a researcher’s model for analyzing vascular health. I then implemented and helped integrate the algorithm into a client's software system for automated processing of clinical vascular studies using trans-cranial Doppler analysis, thereby creating a scalable business model for client.
