For example: (1) a multinational market research firm relied on slow, error-prone process of manually creating and summarizing data collected from its clients, so Jeremy led development of an app to automate the data management and certain analytic steps, reducing tasks that took days down to seconds and saving the company tens of thousands of dollars in labor costs per year; (2) New Jersey-based hedge fund sought assistance determining optimal machine learning algorithm to predict movements in US equities, so Jeremy developed a deep learning-based model that has consistently outperformed the larger market for nearly two years, including during periods of high volatility, and helping the fund continue to attract new investors; and (3) Legal counsel required expert statistical testimony on behalf of a whistle-blower in a case alleging fraudulent Medicare billing.
