This is a list of forty-odd projects I have done from my doctoral dissertation to my latest mathematically sophisticated tools in retail optimization. The early cellular projects reshaped the wireless telephone industry, many of these have made significant financial impact, and some are still earning tens of millions of dollars per year.

AMPScase 1982 Business case for cellular business growth
AUTOGROW 1983 Cellular telephony growth heuristics
M2 1984 Full cellular sim, radio & call processing
DPCsim 1984 Dynamic power control simulation for AMPS
