>> My name is Stephanie Melissa [phonetic] and
I'm an Operations Research Analyst with TASC.

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:09.250
I support a government contract.

00:00:09.250 --> 00:00:13.990
And I basically take bulk
data and model it in Excel.

00:00:13.990 --> 00:00:19.110
And I look for patterns and trends and
anomalies, anything that could stand out.

00:00:19.110 --> 00:00:26.000
And by using Excel we're able to create
curves and basically answer questions

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:31.260
that other customers come to us and ask
based off of the models that we create.

00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:36.210
The models that we create also go
into a tool that's used all around,

00:00:36.210 --> 00:00:37.950
you know, in the government community.

00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:44.210
And then we also are now in the
process of taking other bulk data

00:00:44.210 --> 00:00:46.930
and modeling that and figuring out patterns.

00:00:46.930 --> 00:00:48.550
It's pretty flexible.

00:00:48.550 --> 00:00:55.130
So with the traffic in D.C. I like to kind of
get into work early so I wake up around 6:00,

00:00:55.130 --> 00:00:56.810
get into work by 7:00 in the morning.

00:00:56.810 --> 00:01:02.970
You know sit there, work on the
models, work on writing papers,

00:01:02.970 --> 00:01:06.080
giving briefings, presentations,
stuff like that.

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:09.570
My day usually ends around
3:30 in the afternoon.

00:01:09.570 --> 00:01:12.230
So a pretty flexible schedule, which is nice.
