At Club Locker, we continuously seek new ways to engage users and make the most of our data. By analyzing match histories and telemetry from our real-time scoring app, we generate detailed and insightful match summaries for players.
Cost benchmarking relies on standardizing spending categories. At iVantage, we applied natural language processing and document classification techniques to analyze general ledger line items and cost center descriptions, enabling accurate, apples-to-apples comparisons of hospital spending profiles.
Defining hospital service areas is crucial for market research, outreach, analysis, recruitment, and other initiatives. However, restrictions in certain applications can make these definitions challenging to manage at scale. At iVantage, we leveraged genetic algorithms to gain deeper insights into the hospital service area landscape across the United States. Read more about this use of GA here.
Justin received his master's degree in Computer Science with a specialization in Machine Learning from The Georgia Institute of Technology and his Bachelor of Science from Colby College with a focus in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics.
Here's a bunch of fun stuff I enjoy, feel free to ask for more!
Squash ⚫ - the racquet sport. I've played for many years and can be found regularly on court at Portland Community Squash.
Running 🏃➡️ - I've completed five marathons and would like to do one more.
Games 🎲 - Primarily board and card games. I started playing Magic: The Gathering in 1994 and am currently deep in the world of KeyForge where I co-host and produce a weekly podcast focused on the design and strategy of the game.
Hiking ⛰️ - I've done some notable destination hikes, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and the Inca Trail in Peru. Closer to home, I'm working my way through the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
