Professional software engineer with experience in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. I'm especially interested in software design and architecture, and am typically developing backend Java servers and libraries. In my free time I enjoy hacking on new libraries, languages, and ideas ranging from writing Clojure code to dabbling in front-end development with frameworks like AngularJS.
