AI ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER Oct 2010 – June 2012

BidSync, Inc. American Fork, UT

Design and implementation of the Data mining products with extensive use of AI and NLP technologies (introduced AI technologies to the company). Also serving as a lead developer for the new Java EE 6 platform that includes Web services, web systems and database persistency. Give support on security and datacenter infrastructure. Mostly the development platform I work with is Java EE but I also design the algorithms for fast performance and optimum memory usage.

Applications include:

- Classification Engine for Bid categorization. Built and designed, single handled, a vector space system to classify 4.000 Bids a day within 45.000 categories. The system runs in 99 seconds and has had a precision of 99.99%. Also, designed the learner on an easy way to avoid investment from the company to build a team to train it. The whole product was trained within 45 days by one single person.

- Information Extractor using Fuzzy logic. Built and designed, single handled. the Extractor Engine for BidSync. On this first release, it extracts bids information from html pages when that information is inside html table structures. The system first downloads the HTML and convert that to properly formated XML which is then parsed using a very fast pointer based XML parser. Once parsed, the data is then stored into a table object with rows and columns and then fuzzy logic is applied to headers to determine what kind of bid information each column holds. Most of the bids the company needs to extract is now done by this Extractor Engine and no configuration is needed due to the implementation of the AI modules. There is also a NLP Date extractor that is able to extract an understand dates in any numerical and written form as well as convert time zones. The system uses Machine Learning techniques to acquire extra knowledge and infer from previous acquired data.

Company was later acquired based on the mining technology I had created.
