I Specialize In

Strategic planning advising/mentoring for executives, creating strategies for analytic problem solving, applied project/portfolio management, open source planning and implementation in an enterprise architecture environment, developing and maintaining an enterprise information assurance program, artificial intelligent (AI) research involving natural language interfaces, information architecture and presenting data analytics.

My Research Intrests

Intelligent Workflow: Currently using Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to develop an intelligent knowledge management system (knowledge acquisition, filtering, organization, and reuse). In particular, techniques used are natural language processing, machine learning, intelligent agents, intelligent multi-agents, text mining, data mining, information extraction, and Web-based learning. Intelligent Personal Assistant: Personalizing the end-user experience (portal technologies) through the use of emergence algorithms to learn and educate system behaviors such as customized workflow, data retrieval, and report generation. Evolution of a GNU Linux distribution based on three core concepts: superior engineering, next-generation design concepts, and open standards. Simplifying the installation and configuration of Linux and other Unix-like Operating systems
