Group Manager - Machine Learning Intuit
I am a technologist who's incredibly passionate about Data and Software. I'm also a big believer in taking initiative and solving the problems that need solving and have most impact, instead of waiting around to be told what to work on. That passion and mindset have led me to many roles throughout my career: researcher, engineer, programmer, scientist, analyst, and PM. Some examples are provided below. As a researcher, I've collaborated with Academia and Labs to integrate cutting-edge visualization technology with data mining techniques on Big Data. As an engineer and programmer, I've designed and developed end-to-end ML modeling and execution systems, capable of ETL, deploying and scoring models, and managing feature sets. As a data scientist, I've produced models with 7 figure revenue lift, and gained particular expertise in imbalanced classification tasks. I'm also very dedicated to mentorship and service. As Founder and Co-Chair of the Broadening Participation in Data Mining program, I've managed teams of volunteers and organizers to create a fully-funded yearly workshops for underrepresented students and mentors. My other great passions in life are family and sports. I love to travel and spend time with my wife and boys. I am an avid runner and will follow just about any sport. For fun, for example, I've conducted research into College Football BCS, College XC rankings, and NFL betting odds.
