About

I’m a data scientist, software engineer, researcher, and educator. Through my applied linguistics research in Japan, I became interested in computational linguistics and computer science, and I am currently studying for a master’s in computer science. I’m interested in collaborating on technology development projects solving interesting problems. I’m most excited about working on projects that help people and advance knowledge.
