• Worked under highly skilled CTO that held advanced degrees in computational theory, artificial intelligence, machine learning and computer science from MIT.
• Built predictive search technologies that are still in use by major sites today.
• Reason for Leaving: I signed on with affinity logic in the beginning of the dot com fall out. At that time, affinity was changing direction to capitalize on a potential market. In doing so, the company depleted its funds before it had time to realize substantial revenue and the venture capital money had already left the market. At the time of signing with Affinity Logic, I knew that the depletion of funds was a significant risk, but a risk I was willing to take, as I felt their technology was above the local talent caliber and wanted to participate in development of their systems, as I knew it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to expand my skills beyond any project I had previously worked on.
