Founded and managed a small consultancy that develops world class, custom-built, predictive models using the company's proprietary predictive modeling tool set.

Director of Research, Lead Scientist

1998 - 2007

• Designed and created an enterprise-level Predictive Modeling Software program “MITCH” using C++ and Visual Basic. Included are Neural Networks, Model Trees, linear and polynomial regression, logistic regression, decision trees, nearest neighbors, PCA, variable selection, interaction detection, clustering algorithms, proprietary algorithms, custom database structure, graphs, customized statistics, a sophisticated user-interface functioning as an OLAP, real-time scoring mechanisms and a built-in programming language. Performance is generally a multiple faster than widely used modeling tools, as well as more numerically stable. • Designed, created, and applied the analytical process for “Risk Navigator” software. This software is used to predict future costs and inpatient admissions for hospitals and insurance plans. It is now the core product for MEDai, a wholly owned subsidiary of Elsevier. • Applied an Artificial Intelligence tool to demonstrate the predictability of stocks in the stock market. Traded a small fund from Dec. 1, 2000 to Sept. 11, 2001, and it was highly profitable in a bear market. • Designed statistics and data processing methodology for MEDai’s clinical decision support system. • Defend A.I. and statistical methodologies to existing clients. • Prepare and give presentations to prospective clients, assisting in key sales. • Responsible for estimating the 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 Medicaid Budgets for the state of FL (approx. $15 billion)
