About

I love tackling challenging mathematical problems and bringing solutions to life. This has led me from Black Box Modeling, Risk Analysis, and Portfolio Optimization in finance to developing and deploying new innovative techniques in ML modeling at scale in eCommerce. For example developing online recommender systems for product recommendation with constraints, or utilizing evolutionary NN's to deploy models globally (20+ countries) at scale which also solves the cold start problem. Along the way I’ve developed models as a sr. scientist, had multiple publications and patents, and have gone on to grow and lead a large team of scientists and engineers overseeing a portfolio of hundreds of ML models making recommendations for 400MM+ customers daily (worldwide) leveraging AWS technologies. This has helped me find some of my passions and key strengths, growing others, strategizing with business leadership on how to leverage ML, and continually learning new advances in the state of the art.

Activities and societies: Mathematics Graduate Organization committee member 2005, 2006. NASA GSRP recipient 2004-2007. Analysis and Numerical Analysis colloquium speaker. Title: "Wavelets Adapted to Compacted Domains and Multiscale Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces". Details: Constructed wavelets adapted to compact fractal (self similar) domains in multiple dimensions with an emphasis on simplexes in Rn. Practical implementation issues are addressed and decomposition / reconstruction algorithms are developed. The application of the theory to modeling flutter (a highly nonlinear aeroelastic system) in high speed high performance aircraft is depicted. As a secondary application, the theory is extended to modeling on triangulated manifolds and in multiscale reproducing kernels (used in machine learning) The resulting kernels have desirable optimization properties, compact support, and a multiscale tuning capability.
