Profile Information

Short Bio:
So I've been in technology for over 35 years. I've been a technician, systems engineer, programmer, developer, manager and now a VP level executive manager. I've always been a math bug and very interested in kernel learning. My education in ML has been mostly self taught plus a few Stanford ML courses. In my current role, I'm exploring pattern recognition ideas in Clinical Research. I will retire within the next few years and plan to apply my ideas as an entrepreneur.
