Experience

1. Senior Solutions Architect

   SAS

   Sep 2015 — Present · Woodstock, GA, US

   At SAS, I am free to use my twenty plus years of experience in technology, data analysis, forecasting, traditional predictive modeling, and machine learning to help existing and prospective SAS customers develop complete solutions to their business problems using SAS, modern computing platforms, open source software, database, and emerging technology.Much of my work with customers is helping them promote existing analytical workflows to highly performing cluster and cloud computing platforms. I also get the chance to do the remarkable by enabling polyglot teams - integrating work done by R and Python teams with SAS teams using SAS Viya.Then there is the really fun stuff - experimenting with containerized applications both with SAS and other technology in AWS as well as building new workflow frameworks using distributed computing in SAS Viya and the CAS engine.Working for SAS for the last three years has been one of the best career experiences that I have had. It isn\'t just about perks, SAS knows how to take care of people.
