Hello my name is Kevin T. Duraj, and I was born in Czechoslovakia.
In 1991 as part of academic course-work at McGill University, I start to program ectronic social bulletin board system for fellow students and information retrieval systems. I build my first search engine using C language, B-Trees, Bitmaps and Run-length encoding (RLE). Furthermore, I developed my own medical search engine, which is today top ranking medical search engine by Google keywords for: "Medical Search Engine". I have been studying at McGill University, UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles), and Master's Degree in Computer Science at California Lutheran University.

Human Biology captivate my interest in 2001 and I joined Neuroprosthetics project at Andersen Lab, Caltech (California Institute of Technology) to develop prosthetic system to record the electrical activity of nerve cells in the posterior parietal cortex of paralyzed patients, interpret the patients’ intentions from these neural signals using Dekker's and other algorithms, and converting the decoded plans into electrical control signals to operate external devices such as a robot arm, or a computer. I had opportunity to work with some of the best researchers in the Neuroscience field:
Bijan Pesaran,
Boris Breznen,
Daniella Meeker,
Hansjörg Scherberger,
Zoltan Nadasdy
and others.
For the past decades, I have been developing different types of data mining systems for
several corporations. Statistical process control for Sanmina-SCI; Internet banking for Intuit (Digital Insight); Universal loan origination for Bank of America; R&D search engine, spam detection using statistical natural language processing, corpus-based computational linguisitcs, part-of-speech tagger and other for Fox Interactive Media (MySpace); Semantic search engine, fraud detection using n-grams and other for Spark Networks (JDate); Information retrieval system for AT&T Interactive.
