As one of a team of 4 data scientists in a 50 person SaaS firm, I do exploratory data analysis, model design, and coding to assist sales organizations by predicting the probability if and when a sale would close, and what factors influence the outcome.  I've worked on temporal models (e.g. survival/event analysis), and on improving the interpretability of what feature in the models drive the predictions. My experience is working in R and Python, using a wide range of Machine Learning libraries.

As technical lead developed and put into practice “query-based diagnostics” – where user sessions to elicit and use models are combined. Software pilots in manufacturing estimate savings of several million dollars per installation.o	Developing an adaptive network traffic anomaly detector and inference algorithm for a “computer anti-worm.” This distributed detection scheme is based on peer-to-peer messaging among hosts, to detect malware, and on a predictor of heavy-tailed network traffic levels.  o	Advanced text analysis methods for “Confrontational Computing” an Internet application to bridge disparate opinions. o	Optimized a wafer selective test reduction algorithm to reduce testing costs without increasing observed failure rates, which is credited with saving $2M.
