I'm a senior software engineer at Charter Communications building backend, data-intensive, machine learning applications. I specialized in AI/ML at Georgia Tech, and am particularly interested in neural machine translation of low resource languages and applying machine learning techniques to the analysis of ancient literary texts. I have published research as a first author on novel algorithms for translating wordplay.
Before I became a software engineer, I was an academic researcher studying ancient near eastern linguistics. As part of that work, I created and maintained complex, highly-specialized right-to-left language datasets optimized for linguistic analysis of ancient texts.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy trail running in the Colorado mountains. I've run several ultra-marathons including multiple 100 milers. Ultra running has taught me that even seemingly impossible problems can be solved with enough preparation, adaptability, and determination.
I would love to connect with you and collaborate on interesting projects! Have an awesome day!
