Managing Director

Responsibilities:

• Build up the data science practice as a key value-add service offering, to provide real-time actionable insights about customer, employees and organizational behavior, improve the quality of services and reduce costs.
• Build a public-cloud-based data platform from ground up, including Enterprise Data Grid, data ingestion (Spark), data curation (semantic analysis, free text search & graph), data science (customer behavior prediction, time series analysis, recommendation engine, fraud detection).
• Create a new technology stack, including Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, TensorFlow, In-memory Data Grid (HazelCast), Graph processing, and APIs.
• Build and lead an innovative learning organization with three teams of over 40 members, distributed platform engineering, advanced analytics and products.
• Hands-on experiences in creating Natural Language Processing (NLP) analysis to extract and tokenize unstructured texts, e.g. machine data and customer services logs, sentimental analysis and communication pattern recognition, identified security risks for lateral movements.
• Lead development of supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms, k means clustering, naïve Bayesian classification, Linear Regression in solving challenging business problems, and deep learning neural network for analyzing time-series data to predict infrastructure and security fault events, as well as consumer credit risks and frauds.
• Strong hands-on experiences with R, Python, TensorFlow & Theano framework, pandas, and scikit-learn packages.

Executive Director

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop Big Data analytic strategy to meeting business needs, including predictive analysis, pattern identification and sentiment analysis.
• Develop Big Data/NoSQL risk platform to support global trading, including support for VAR (Monte Carlo and Historical) evaluation on portfolio risks, credit risks, interest risks, and counter party risks, pricing engines for options, and quant models.
• The platform was adopted for ingesting networking logs to detect suspicious and potential fraudulent activities, such as lateral movements, using stochastic gradient descent model.
• Develop predictive and analytical modeling architectures to support trend spotting, including naïve Bayesian analysis, n-gram text mining, linear and non-linear classification analysis, association rule, sequential pattern, and machine learning (random forest, K-means, etc.), Python (pandas, scikit-learn).
• Responsible for developing technology platform and road maps, tracking issues and status of day-to-day operations, as well as socializing technology demos and architectural proof-of-concepts with partners and peers in IT, business and operations community.
