Product Manager and Senior Analyst for Research and Development Group. Accomplishments included:

• Devised a method using Self Organizing Maps (SOM) clustering method to infer driving conditions and road types from driving data recorded by onboard TripSense computer chip. Method resulted in the filing of a patent. Utilized SOM Clusters and other driving data to successfully assess driving risk from TripSense data.
• Improved upon current Geo-Smoothing modeling to rate territory risk of drivers based on garage zip code. New methodology took days instead of weeks and improved accuracy.
• Spearheaded initiative to analyze free text from customer surveys and emails using text-mining techniques. Text mining initiative resulted in automated classification of customer surveys and emails. Was used to determine that an error on quoting web site was causing customer attrition.
