SEEKING WORK - remote (updated!), email in profile.

Location: West coast Canada, remote only.

Technologies: Machine learning/AI, LLM's, Python, Tensorflow/Keras/pytorch, A whole host of technologies over 25 year career.

I'm a veteran senior data scientist, who's worked on a number of interesting projects. I'd like to work on more.

So an ideal fit would be a small/medium company with hair on fire problems that need solving that I can talk about publicly. I'm currently quite interested in routing/optimization problems, and AI with logic and external memories.

Some past work:

  - real-time Vehicle routing, Get a couch from where you are, to where you want it to be.
  - Failiure prediction for a well known stuttgart auto maker.
  - Server fleet failure prediction for a well known cloud vendor. Give a 5 minute warning to do load shedding.
  - Voice agent in the pre-LLM era. The goal oriented structure used is likely to make a comeback as "router" infra between models.
  - Taxi fleet maintenance optimization and failiure prediction for a latam taxi company.
  - Automated sports highlights - Feed in video, get highlights of diving catches, touchdowns, etc.
  - Wound identification and mangement - Identify what sort of wound, label and categorize the tissue.
  - Account grading and revenue optimization for ARM. 
  - Maritime anti-piracy - Identifying pirate skiffs, and at risk vessels. 
Who shouldn't contact me:

  - Ads or gambling. I'd rather sleep at night. Thanks.
What I'm working on right now:

  - Metabolic flux anaylsis - Predicting how metabolic networks consume and produce metabolites. 
  - AI with logic (Eg: NOT peanuts) and connecting them to interpretable and defensible knowledge bases.
