For the last 20 years I have pretty much lived at the intersection of TCP/IP networking and mathematical modeling. I spent my first 10 years out of school working for various networking companies. For the last 10 years I have split my time between the MathWorks where I was the manager for MATLAB's statistics system and Akamai Technologies. I currently work with the Adversarial Resilience team at Akamai, focusing on event detection, capacity planning, and Transport Layer Security.

I don't have many real achievements in the world of bridge, though I am fairly well know on BBO (and earlier on OKB). Bridgewise, I am probably most proud of my MOSCITO notes (which I really need to finish one of these days)

The following document describes the results of an Exploratory Data Analysis of a large corpus of online bridge tournaments that were played on Bridge Base Online between April 2018 and April 2019. Three different data sets were examined:
1. BBO Daylong (MP) tournaments (8 boards in length)2. ACBL Daylong (MP) tournaments (12 boards in length)3. The Spring ACBL Online National tournament (24 boards in length)
The primary motivation behind this project was to examine the variance in board results for the different types of tournaments.
