1996-2005 Consultant, Websciences
I have done web design and database consulting on and off for Websciences on a number of
projects. I helped develop the database for the online journal Sleep Research Online
(www.sro.org). I helped develop the relational schema for a web based resource to facilitate
the discovery of genes that contribute to Autism called the "Phenotyping Database for Autism"
or PDA. PDA is currently being used by the Collaborative Linkage Study of Autism (CLSA),
Tufts, Vanderbilt, University of Iowa and Johns Hopkins); Stanford; Duke, U.South Carolina;
Mt. Sinai, U.Washington, McMaster U., Paris Autism Research International Sib Pair Study
(PARIS), Hopital Albert Chenevier, U.Goteborg and the International Molecular Genetic Study
of Autism Consortium (IMGSAC). I have also served as a technical consultant to help
Websciences write several distributed database grants.
2004-2005
Univ. of California, Los Angeles - Programmer, Department of Pathology
Developed an Expert System and database for the analysis of Tissue Microarray Data for the

2003-2004
Univ. of California, Los Angeles - Researcher, Department of Human
Genetics
For the Stan Nelson lab I developed a database that annotates gene annotation with highconfidence evidence of neuronal function. Developed methods for improving the analysis of
Affymetrix gene expression data.
1999-2004
Consultant, Protein Pathways
I was also a consultant on the analysis of gene expression data for Protein Pathways. I was
integrally involved in setting up an Affymetrix normal tissue expression database for Protein
Pathways. The normal tissue data has helped Protein Pathways refine their ProNexus(TM)
technology that automatically predicts, integrates, and analyzes protein interactions.
2000-2003
NSF IGERT Fellow - Integrative Bioinformatics Training Program.
My work focused on two areas: 1) writing algorithms to automagically get a computer to read
the millions of abstracts in the medical literature and database information on gene-gene,
protein-protein, and disease-phenotype/endophenotype relations. Developed "semantic"
search algorithms to annotate and mine millions of biomedical abstracts. And 2) incorporating
reasoning/evidence in to search, text mining, data mining and knowledge bases.
"computational skepticism" is a form of automated critical theory that deals particularly with
questions of dissonance between those ideas that are accepted as true, or normal, or
acceptable while marginalizing or denying other ideas.
2002 Consultant, ProteinPlanet
I helped the small biotech start-up ProteinPlanet (www.ProteinPlanet.com) develop their online
database of protein-protein interactions.
1999 Irell & Manella LLP, Affymetrix Expert
I was a technical advisor hired by the law firm Irell & Manella LLP to provide expert opinion for
a lawsuit that began in March of 1997 between Hyseq, Inc. and Affymetrix, Inc.. My role was
to read briefs and code and provide an expert opinion on technical issues involving Affymetrix
technology that arose. The litigation was settled out of court.
1997-2000
Univ. of California, Los Angeles - Researcher, Department of Pediatrics
I helped the Stan Nelson lab with several projects mostly focused on the genome-wide
identification and characterization of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the analysis
of Affymetrix gene expression data. The goal of this work was to help genotyping efforts and to
understand the relative vagaries of the quantitation of Affy data and determine if there are key
situations where one method is clearly more suitable than the other methods. I also developed
a normal tissue database for Affymetrix gene expression data.
