I’ve been an entrepreneur, a government researcher and a university professor. I once designed, built and sold software for a living. I’ve even designed and sold a music web site. As a researcher, I have worked on many problems: from medical diagnostic to collaborative data processing. I’ve even written research papers in mathematics and collaborated with NASA. Lately, I’ve been mostly active in data warehousing and recommender systems. My Slope One recommender algorithm is used by countless e-commerce sites. I love to write: my blog has thousands of followers. I also have two sons, two cats and a beautiful wife.
