Most Memorable Moment:
Most memorable moment in college? Easy. Having to drop out of Statistics due to a car accident, only to go back and repeat the course and pass it. I graduated, and moved to Washington DC to become an Economist for the Consumer Price Index (CPI). From there, I received numerous recognition for creation mathematical models, and introducing the survey to Cloud Computing. I also wrote the first live-data Structured Query Language database monitoring programs that I call Detail Science programs, which led to the birth of Data Science in that agency for the first time in its history.
