Deep Learning Script Kiddie. I like building systems that can think, listen, and see.
Interested in "perception" systems for self driving cars.
For profit and fun, I implemented probabilistic data structures for quantiles, percentiles, cardinality, TOPK, and set membership.
BloomFilter, TDigest, HyperLogLog, and CountMinSketch are my favorite Algebras.

Deep Learning

I like building stuff in Python and making stuff with Tensorflow. TensorFlow is an Open Source Software Library for Machine Intelligence.

DFIR

Your Cloud needs API security monitoring. I have built some devops security tools around AWS Cloudtrail Logs using Python to load events to Slack. Now I'm loading Cloudtrail to Redshift and dashboarding events using time, IP address, and event names as features for monitoring. Also used Apache Drill to query S3 buckets.

Artificial Intelligence

I like chatbots/chatops bots and using NLP/NLU AI in projects. I'm fascinated with Fully Autonomous Driving and I wished I had more time.

Projects

I like to program in Python and Scala. Most of the data science work that I have done is hiding in IPython Notebooks. Most of the code revolves around DFIR, analytics, Big Data, and Machine Learning. Autonomous Vehicle stuff like C++, Python, TensorFlow, Keras, Linux, Robot Operating System (ROS)
