Data I’ve Worked With

Most recently I worked on ad fraud detection using browser data.  Prior to that, I was responsible for Epsilon’s Analytical Data Assets team.  In this role I was tasked with analytic product development based on both Epsilon and 3rd party data.  While at Epsilon, from 2000-2016, my primary use of data has been to create analyses and predictive models for client applications.
