3. Overview My role at the US EPA, as their Senior Enterprise Architect and Data Scientist, and as lead for several Federal CIO Council activities, and since leaving government to become Director and Senior enterprise Architect-Data Scientist of Semantic Community, has been to Build HealthDatagov (Community Health Data Visualizations for HDI 1), Build the Health Data Infrastructure in the Cloud (Medicare Zombie Hunter for HDI2), and to suggest that the Health Datapalooza Would Benefit From Real Innovation Investment (HPN Health Prize Data Visualization and Modeling for HDI 3). Some Next Steps are in progress so those results will also be shown at the June 5-6th HDI 3 Event! 3
