Business Operations Research Analyst, TASC

>> My name is Stephanie Melissa [phonetic] and I'm an Operations Research Analyst with TASC. I support a government contract. And I basically take bulk data and model it in Excel. And I look for patterns and trends and anomalies, anything that could stand out. And by using Excel we're able to create curves and basically answer questions that other customers come to us and ask based off of the models that we create. The models that we create also go into a tool that's used all around, you know, in the government community. And then we also are now in the process of taking other bulk data and modeling that and figuring out patterns. It's pretty flexible. So with the traffic in D.C. I like to kind of get into work early so I wake up around 6:00, get into work by 7:00 in the morning. You know sit there, work on the models, work on writing papers, giving briefings, presentations, stuff like that. My day usually ends around 3:30 in the afternoon. So a pretty flexible schedule, which is nice.
