SEEKING WORK

I'm a developer focusing on quantitative methods. I have:

- Built security/surveillence system involving tricky sensing and placement problems for the US military (Used by USMC and DIA). We could identify how many people were walking behind a moving tank remotely.

- Increased receivables for collections agencies (30-290%), The final results were a revenue increase in the millions per year.

- Some of the things I've worked on in ARM are forward flow recievables, structuring, reverse targeting (for agents), and pipeline bubble elimintation. If you're working in the finance space don't hesitate to get in touch.

- Hacked on the Linux kernel and more. Ask and we can talk about the more.
