    Achievements

    Lead efforts to build medical image driven diagnostic classifier (using CNN based deep learning on Tensorflow) for rapid case triaging trained against actual medical data (20TB+).

    Helped lead the massive, global, highly-visible, and viciously political restructuring and unwinding of AIG Investments' derivatives systems, processes, operations, and book restructuring in 2008 and 2009.
