Thank you for your input. You are soo smart. They are still taking votes for a location. You should put in your vote. It is in a link Come One Come All. Or I can get you the link if you are interested in voting at least. BRB.

CTO means Chief Technical Officer, so he answers to the CEO.

As to meeting in the real world, I don't have much cash so it would have to be within driving distance of Corpus Christi, so someplace like San Antonio.

Yea Jane I saw all that too. I was just wondering what it means. Is he a high ranking guy. I mean Co-Founder. That sounds high up to me. I want to ask him about the CoM Conference. Not right now of course. We are still just trying to see if people are even interested in a CoM Conference. What about you Jane? Would you be interesting in meeting up with moms on here???

Internet industry

January 2000 – Present (11 years 8 months)

TeamRankings.com offers up a wide range of evaluative and predictive tools and analyses for sports fans. TeamRankings.com and its users annihilate their competition in NCAA Tournament pools: our algorithmic March Madness predictions outperformed 32 out of 33 NCAA basketball experts, number crunchers in a Wall Street Journal competition.

I founded TeamRankings.com while I was in college, and now work with Tom Federico and Matt Koidin (both full-time employees) to build out new quantitative features.

Sr. Fraud R&D Scientist
PayPal

Public Company; 1001-5000 employees; ebay; Internet industry

December 2000 – August 2004 (3 years 9 months)

I was responsible for much of PayPal's back-end fraud modeling. I designed and coded a program which allowed me and my colleagues to easily build predictive mathematical models to track down fraud.

Using my software, I built about twenty statistical models to assess the risk of PayPal's users, and my colleagues used it to build another 30-40 models. The models were then implemented on the site's back end (by one of us and/or engineering) to find fraudulent transactions before money from them left the system.

Much to the benefit of the team, I've been succeeded by a far more accomplished coach: Mark Talbott, former world #1 player, and former national championship coach at Yale.
