Hi! I'm Braden Fineberg. I am a Systems Engineering student at the University of Pennsylvania. I am also on the Dean’s List, a member of the varsity crew team, and I started a technology company, GRASP, during my freshman year of college and Flourish my Junior year. I interned at Matterport, a virtual reality and 3D mapping company on their global growth team. As a Junior, I worked for Tesla on their economic optimization team, developing machine-learning and AI algorithms to automaically trade energy using commercial batteries. Wharton Analytics, Systems Engineering, Data Science has given me the skills necessary to build complex financial analytic decision models. My excitement for data comes from asking the question "now what?" and my drive comes from operationalizing those findings in a company. Post graduation, I will be working full time on Flourish with the team.
The goal of the Economic Market Optimization Team is to build algorithms and predictive models to optimize performance of Tesla's commercial batteries. While there, I developed an algorithm selection engine that improved battery site performance by 8%-15% per site per month. The selector was based upon work that I completed to improve the baseline market forecasting algorithm by increasing pre-processing and applying dimensionality reduction techniques. In addition, I built an error classification algorithm, boosting Model 3 battery manufacturing yield to 96%+ and created a full stack prototype UI for a commercial product to be released in early 2019.
My role at Matterport consists of assisting teams with business development and strategy to spur international growth. I did so by developing an internationalization roadmap for evaluation of future international opportunities, building internal data visualization dashboards and business intelligence tools for the sales teams, and compiled competitor intelligence brief.
My job was to aid in deal sourcing, deal filtering and transaction execution by: researching industries to develop a pipeline of potential companies for purchase; determining the right opportunities to move forward in the pipeline; and preparing deal summaries for investors
I analyzed common hospital spend by: researching common spend to discover commonalities and pricing practices; benchmarking services to find industry-standard quality; and assessing the savings potential of hospitals through KPI benchmarks

I mainitained a 3.75 GPA throughout my freshman year balencing crew and school.
I have been a member of the varsity lightweigh crew team since my freshman year.
Granted to students who receive an average score of at least 4 on all AP Exams.
As an active leader in Hillel, I planed and executed events that strengthened the community.
We believe that the interest level in a home can be turned into a simple equation: Net_Interest_Level = Reality-Expectation.
The reality consits of the actual characteristics of the unit while expectation is for a unit's given asking price, what features do you expect. The reality of the unit also includes where it is located. Specifically, if a unit is located in a high interest building, the unit is likely high interest. The expectation created a clear separation in the data.
This classification problem is not one of features or price. Ultimately it comes down to which areas of a city are "hot". Which neighborhoods are sellers' markets.
GRASP was built with the hope of connecting tutors and students on college campuses. It was meant to allow students to get face-to-face help from their peers while studying material. I built the mobile app in react native.

Most of my work in this area is under NDA. However past projects have included implementing python automation script, visualizing sales data and trends, analyzing market impact, and consumer modeling. I tend to use python, react, SQL, and excel as tools to complete projects of this type.
