I am interested in solving complex and challenging problems in research and development with techniques from artificial intelligence, especially machine learning, data mining, and natural language processing. Coming to software engineering from a background in academic research, I want to help add more intelligence to the applications we all use. I have experience designing and building distributed high-performance computation systems: − 6 years of experience developing client and server-side applications in Java, C++, Python, and Lisp. − Experience with relational databases (esp. MySQL), triplestores (esp. Sesame), XML, RDF, and OWL. Specialties: Artificial Intelligence: Machine Learning, Data Mining, and Natural Language Processing
