Hi! I'm RJ and I feel that whatever's worth doing is worth doing AWESOMELY. For the last 2.5 years, I've been re-training in data science and using those skills (plus those gained in some simple ML research projects from college) to help write a fully-automated money-lending application, as well as the financial model under it (informed by hundreds of data points gathered from dozens of sources), and the distibuted, scalable systems which integrate with third-party APIs to gather that data, and the website that exposes it to the world. I'm pretty awesome, but worked with enough geniuses to stay humble, showing me how much more there is to learn and how much more awesome we can all help each other to become.

I like brains (real and artificial), so my current side projects are to record and analyze brain-wave data from an EEG, and to build a neural-network-based genetic algorithm to power a Street Fighter AI. That last one may be a bit overzealous, but it's where my interest lies.

About me: Spent six years at a consulting firm owned by Microsoft, writing logistics and package-tracking software for two of the big three US mail-delivery services. Consulting means variety, and this broad experience plus passion for technology means I am a quick learner and quick to deliver value.

More recently, I worked two years at a burgeoning financial startup on a OAuth/REST API and their custom automated credit-underwriting engine, where I developed machine-learning techniques in addition to traditional expert-derived classification of risk. Not averse to UX/front-end work, but it's not my greatest strength.

[1] I'm currently located in Atlanta, but looking to move. My wife and I are very outdoorsy and are interested in destinations which might provide some city flavor with easy access to rock climbing, mountain biking, trail running, mountaineering, etc. Make me an offer I can't refuse! ; )
