INDUSTRIAL/CONSULTING PROJECT EXPERIENCE
AT&T
Worked on designing and implementing one of the largest data warehousing systems in existence based on ATT
Call Detail Records (CDR). Approximate current size is 80 TB, growing by approximately 20 GB/day. Concentrating on efficient storage
and indexing issues, with special emphasis on retrieval efficiency for OLAP and compression.
US West
Worked on developing models and systems for predicting customer churn based on innovative ideas. Specifically looked at the Small
Business Group (SBG) data, with a goal to building a system that will monitor ongoing customer activity and attempt to classify customer
with respect to ``likelihood of churn''. The idea is then that certain actions could be taken upon these customers to enforce retention. This
system is currently operational.
IBM
Currently working on adding active database functionality to ADMS, the distributed storage manager
product of IBM. Based on this functionality, the next step would be to build an automated audit process to enable on demand auditing of sites
for consistency.
