Published every Tuesday at humanterms.ai, Human Terms covers what happened in AI, what it means for readers, and why it matters in about five minutes without jargon or technical specifications. Robert’s strengths include customer analytics, predictive modeling, machine learning, SQL, regression analysis, feature engineering, and data transformation. As a Data Science Intern at Skrmiish, he led a deep dive into a 770-terabyte Azure database and built models for customer behavior, churn probability, and user average spend. His predictive models for churn and user lifetime value achieved 95% accuracy, and he developed k-means player cohorts using profitability, match settings, and app run-time. Robert also brings relationship-driven sales experience from The Kitchen, where he paired personalized five-star service with detailed menu and beverage knowledge and tripled a wine sale from $100 to $300 through a consultative approach. He is interested in technology sales opportunities in healthcare and fintech. ## Services - SAS \(Software\) - Blockchain - Regression Analysis - Microsoft Azure - Full-Stack Development - k-means clustering - Mathematical Statistics - Data Visualization - Data Analysis - Econometrics - Machine Learning - Stata - Statistical Modeling - Predictive Modeling - Modeling - R \(Programming Language\) - Python \(Programming Language\) - Data Science - Data Management - Quantitative Analytics - Research - Analytical Skills ## Highlights - Created Human Terms, a free weekly newsletter at humanterms.ai that explains AI developments in plain English for people outside tech it is published every Tuesday and is designed to take about five minutes to read. - Led a deep dive into a 770-terabyte Azure database as a Data Science Intern at Skrmiish, extracting quantifiable metrics for strategy optimization. - Built predictive models for user churn and user lifetime value at Skrmiish that achieved 95% accuracy for both measures. - Designed logistic and linear regression models of player behavior to predict user average spend and churn probability at Skrmiish. - Improved customer-churn prediction through logistic regression, feature engineering, SQL, and feature transformations. - Created a k-means clustering algorithm to group Skrmiish players into cohorts based on profitability, match settings, and app run-time. - Applied supervised and unsupervised machine-learning methods to generate customer-behavior insights at Skrmiish. - Delivered personalized service in a five-star dining environment as a server at The Kitchen, building relationships with regular customers through menu and beverage expertise. - Tripled a wine sale from $100 to $300 at The Kitchen through a consultative, relationship-driven upselling approach. ## Experience - **Server at The Kitchen** (2024-07-01–2026-06-01) — Delivered warm, personalized service to guests in a five-star dining environment, fostering strong rapport and ensuring memorable experiences.
