C3 Alliance was founded in 2009 with a mission to develop long-lasting relationship based consulting and data-driven development.

The founder has been developing data-driven technology since the late 1990s during the AI Winter with development of a software/database solution that provided a rules driven classification model for use on relational structured databases (RDBMSs).  In the mid-2010s merged Intellectual Property (IP) with Data Science company that created a Data Science Boot Camp whose initial class placed in top 5% of Kaggle.com competition.  

Developed AI/ML/DS framework (ADEPT) to emphasize the five (5) main pillars of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Data Science:
·       Algorithms – Supervised/Unsupervised, training and inference, relevant models
·       Data – identification, wrangling, management
·       Environment – sustainable and extendable platforms
·       Presentation – Visualization and Analytics for actionable information
·       Technology – fit best tool to the task
 
AI/ML/DS Training (Planned 1st Qtr 2018)
Producing twenty (20+) session Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Data Science training program.  In pre-production phase to edit, produce and license via LMS (Learning Management System) and to provide technical training to firm offering coaching programs, educational content and internships to recently graduated college students.

​AI/ML/DS for Good (Planned 2018)
​Developing an Award/Challenge to find and highlight organizations, people and projects where AI/ML/DS is being used for Social Good.  If you would like to submit candidate projects or be considered as a judge, sponsor, volunteer please provide your information and purpose on the contact form.  More to come...
