I believe that learning is a life-long process--one to which we should all aspire. Accordingly, while others may sit down and watch TV after work and on the weekends, I regularly work more to stay abreast of the latest technologies, process improvement structures, and learn the latest ways to self-develop myself and others; and, more importantly, I figure out how I can apply this learning in new and fundamental ways in the real-world environment. I believe that the education and professional certifications that I've earned in a wide variety of self-development, and the work that I've achieved, are a testament to my dedication of that belief.

As part of the IBM Applied AI Professional specialization described above, it involved creating custom models, classifications, and deploying them to the web via an API.
Afterwards, in an effort to determine if my x-ray scans from a sickness in November 2019 that left me coughing, and with shortness of breath, somehow indicated the presence of COVID-19, I created another AI classification model to analyze such. Based on the model, the results showed that it was likely (undiagnosed) pneumonia at 0.76, or (unlikely) COVID-19 coming in at 0.21, with the next highest classification.
I also tested my model with x-rays that weren't used to train it. The results showed very high correlations with what was expected, as I broke the x-ray classifications down into 4 groups: 1.) Healthy lungs. 2.) Pneumonia (not COVID-19 induced pneumonia). 3.) COVID-19 (both those that resulted in pneumonia, and those without). 4.) Other lung-based sicknesses (cancer, emphysema, bronchitis, COPD, etc.). See some examples on the left with a few samples tested, which fell into the correct buckets as expected with high correlations.

RPA Lifecycle: Introduction, Discovery, and Design
by Automation Anywhere via Coursera
This course was an introduction to using Automation Anywhere's RPA (Robotics Process Automation) tool to provide automated workflows. It dealt with identifying candidates, planning the processes, evaluations, understanding the architecture, and design concepts for consideration. Automation Anywhere can be used to handle repetitive tasks. Unlike Visual Basic, it can be programmed to work with virtually any tool - web-based, program, or system (though it does have some limitations).

Aside from documenting various projects in which you've led, you have to pass a grueling 4-hour proctored test, which only has a 68 percent pass-rate (i.e., 32 percent of people who take the test fail - or roughly 1 out of 3 fail - despite that most have bachelor degrees, are reasonably intelligent, spend over $500 to take the test, and have over 30-hours of demonstrated class instruction time related to PM). I have also taken graduate and undergraduate courses in PM, for which I received As.

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a "business language," which allows easier transfer of data as well as specialized formatting for data. I typically prefer CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) in preference to XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation) when formatting such. I've also taken college classes that focused on HTML, XHTML, and JavaScript.

Transcript ID: 2935058
ISO 9001:2008 certified
Six Sigma is a methodology designed to reduce variance by improving processes. This certification also focused on lean methodology (removing waste and non-value added activities). ISO 9001:2008 is a quality standard, and the company ExpertRating is one of the few, if not only, certification sites for Six Sigma that meets such quality standards. In order to diligently meet ISO's rigid standards, the course matter is created by experts, some having PhDs in their field; and the tests are difficult and timed, with some lengthy questions and about 1-minute per question provided. ExpertRating also has LiveProctor - a measure to prevent cheating, which employs video and screen monitoring. It requires closed book/closed Internet. These are a few of the reasons that ExpertRating has a Fortune 500 client list, and has provided certifications for such organizations as IKEA, GE, UPS, Gap, Fox News, Convergys, various universities, etc.

Transcript ID: 2939981
ISO 9001:2008 certified
Kaizen is a continuous improvement process, with the aim of such to have an organization constantly strive for efficiency and effectiveness by working in a coordinated effort with all facets of management. (NOTE: Some people may mistakenly believe that Kaizen is a short-term methodology for achieving goals, but that is actually a Kaizen Blitz. In fact, the term Kaizen itself is a trademarked term [by the Kaizen Institute] that essentially means "continuous improvement," and is often used in conjunction with "gemba," referring to the area of improvement or the "actual place/workplace.")

Power BI - Q & A
by Udemy
This course focused on using Power BI's Q&A features. The Q&A functionality employs AI. It allows for NL (Natural Language) queries, provides synonym functionality (i.e., since field headings may not be descriptive, allows for adding other key-references), provides for multi-lingual functionality (such as Spanish), and can provide results in various formats (tables, stacked bar charts, pie charts, etc.) as necessary. Thus, the functionality can be used by those who are not tech-savvy to derive expected results.
