Hello and welcome. I'm Russell E. Walker. Mostly I go by just Russ, but my students have been known to call me "Dr. Russ" and a few of my Spider-Man-loving colleagues named me "
Doc Walk."
Through my consulting practice, Walker Associates, I help medical device manufacturers and healthcare organizations use data and software to improve business performance and patient outcomes. Most projects involve developing algorithms and code for data-intensive medical diagnostic applications, especially for osteoporosis and related bone health conditions. I've also done work in nuclear medicine, electrocardiography, and pulmonary function testing. I've assisted organizations of all types and sizes: nonprofits, startups, and Fortune 100 companies.
As a data science educator, I develop and teach courses in data analytics, business intelligence, and software development; and I study the use of analytic methods and tools to make online and onsite learning more engaging and effective. For over 20 years, I served on the faculty of DeVry University, teaching online, onsite and hybrid classes to undergraduate and graduate students. Currently, I'm focused on how to best create lifelong learning opportunities in data science outside of traditional academic institutions.
Contact me if you've got a project in mind, or if you'd just like to chat about analytics, learning, or software development.
