Broad experience in businesses where machine learning is key to success. Provide consulting services and training on technical or general management problems and serve on BoD and advisory boards. Have founded several startups, initiated new businesses for large companies, done business evaluation, management consulting and corporate training. Technical expertise in machine learning and data science. Formal education in signal processing, finance and business. Excellent communications skills. Have designed machine learning systems for a number of applications including: algorithmic trading systems, content optimization for web site performance, bioinformatics applications. Deep understanding of modern machine learning algorithms including: regularized regression, boosted trees, support vector machines (SVM), neural nets, auto-encoders, deep belief networks (DBN), restricted Boltzmann machines (RBM), time series methods Kalman filtering, natural language processing, latent semantic analysis, topic modeling, big data techniques for machine learning on map reduce, recommender systems. Programming languages – Python, R, Tensor Flow, Theano, C++, Java, C, Unix, Fortran.
