I am an associate professor of the practice of computing and data sciences in the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences at Boston University. I am also affiliated with and teach for the Computer Science department.
I teach a variety of classes in data science and computer science with a bias towards algorithmically oriented subjects. I also have been intimately involved in the launch of our online Master’s of Data Science program where I designed both first semester academic modules. My recent research has been in game solving (classical AI) and fundamental methods.
Previously, I worked in industry for about twenty years, mostly incubating and building web-based startups and data science platforms to drive them. I spent fifteen years at Cogo Labs (originally Adverplex) where we successfully exited CourseAdvisor (acquired by the Washington Post), Autotegrity (acquired by ADP), and Everquote (went public as $EVER). Later, I served as CTO at Solved Home where I remain on the board.
