PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

SEISMIC VENTURES, LLC

Data Manager and Senior Data Scientist, Houston, Texas 2003-2015

●Delivered $500K per month of analyzed data to client’s satisfaction, improving their sales imaging. Greatly effective at developing cross-system methodologies for final delivery.

●Performed quality control on $13M of incoming data for accuracy and completeness. Gained reputation for excellent data control resulting in fellow managers to request my help on subsequent statistical concerns.

●Monumental in managing data preparation group. Everyone asked for my mentorship in software usage and theoretical concepts. My influence and leadership ensured data flow was performed smoothly and accurately.

●Oversaw loading and merging of 4TB of overlapping data. This required my client relationship skills in order to successfully resolve issues with documentation and aggregate data collection from the external data provider.

●Excellent at multi-tasking and data management, seamlessly combining mathematical applications, quality control, legal requirements, and delivery of final structured reports, as evidenced on recent $1M project that met client’s time constraints.

●Tracked data efficiently, resulting in our sales representatives continuously coming to me for updates on project statuses, saving them time and resources.

●Wrote technical “how-to” document on company proprietary software. I was highly praised for my clear, detailed descriptions of software usage.

●Analyzed $106K project within approved guidelines. Presented clear final reports for better client interpretation and decision making.

●Client was highly satisfied with my data analysis of his large $76K project. This included data structuring for smooth flow through software calculations and physical attribute modeling.

●Instrumental in solving problems in application setup, noise suppression, merging of multiple datasets, and statistical errors on projects valued at $10K to $50K each, with high customer satisfaction. This led to the awarding of future projects to us.

●Helped coworkers set up, run, and deliver data from special proprietary modeling software. I am great at assimilating new ideas quickly and being able to utilize them for optimal results.

●Successfully completed a $225K linear algebra project within four months of hire date. We identified errors in the data collection process and then applied corrections so that the final product was more accurate. This resulted in a better overall package.

Senior Data Scientist and LPT Leader, Dallas, Texas, and Data Scientist, Houston, Texas 1997-2003

●Jumped into team project with only three days until deadline, successfully meeting that objective, saving $2000 and company reputation.

●Solved problems with numerous Big Data errors with less than 5% margin of error, compared to industry standard of 10%. Successfully adjusted data for noise anomalies, physical variations, outliers, and categorical information for better overall accuracy than previous data runs.

●Improved data parameters on small dataset, improving client’s ability to interpret information and lowering the risk on a future $300K dataset.

●Wrote final reports explaining stages of testing and production flow. I’ve had many years of experience in merging text with graphics for clear final results and can disseminate information easily and efficiently.

●Launched successful start of Loss Prevention Team (LPT), which analyzed risk factors in quality, health, safety, and environmental (QHSE) issues. My leadership and team-building qualities allowed for an increase in QHSE awareness and risk identification by more than 100%.

●Introduced error reduction procedures and hazard elimination solutions that gained an increase of 32% in audit scores over the previous year.

●Integrated new geoscience theory into data analysis, gaining better image resolution for client’s interpretation needs. Improved results in structured data analysis.

●Successfully completed Saudi Arabia prospect, which included data modeling of 90 million bits of information, within the required four-month timeline with high customer satisfaction. Received Team of the Month Award.

●Trained fifty peers and forty new-hires on new software, freeing the company to dispose of the old mainframe computer system, a savings of $200K per year in maintenance costs.
