Pacific Data Science helps clients get the most value out of their data.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo matter the industry, companies are dealing with vast amounts of data that could help them make better decisions &#8211; if they know how to capture and use it to their advantage,\u201d said Adam Lichtl, PhD, data scientist and founder of the company. \u201cUnfortunately, there\u2019s a huge gap between a demonstration model running on a laptop and a robust, real-time system running securely in the cloud. We\u2019re unique in that we don\u2019t sell a pre-packaged, do-it-yourself solution; rather, we offer the flexible expertise necessary to bridge that gap, so our clients don\u2019t have to climb that risky, expensive learning curve alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/fn_pacdatasci\">Pacific Data Science<\/a> leverages industry-leading practices and technologies to solve tough challenges, and works with SQL, Python, BigQuery, TensorFlow, Hadoop, Spark, and more. Some real-world examples of where the company offers its expertise include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Customer engagement<\/strong>: Advanced clustering algorithms can help digital marketing teams create hyper-personalized interactions with target consumers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dynamic pricing<\/strong>: Building on tried-and-true approaches from established industries, AI-powered revenue management models can drive higher sales with optimized profit margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Human resources<\/strong>: By working closely with in-house teams, Pacific Data Science can boost retention by identifying patterns in behavioral data that pinpoint risk factors for attrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Risk management<\/strong>: Increasingly savvy fraudsters can be met with equally savvy anomaly detection methods based on robust models that automatically adapt to rapidly changing fraud patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Operations<\/strong>: From coffee shops to emergency rooms, Pacific Data Science can build custom solutions that combine historical data with complex operating constraints to reduce waste and overtime, and to create money-saving efficiencies through smarter resource allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We are thrilled to see Adam  take this next step in his journey to solve complex problems in the word of artificial intelligence and health care.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Lichtl has been a member of&nbsp;Founders Network&nbsp;since February 2017.
