    I am a cognitive scientist with over 7 years of experience conducting research in various domains. My Ph.D. research focuses on language processing, language acquisition, and how people process information. I have a solid background in formal linguistics (syntax, pragmatics, discourse analysis, and more) and am familiar with many NLP tasks. In my research, I use a combination of methods, including behavioral experiments, computational simulations, and linguistic analysis. Following my Ph.D., I have gained extensive experience in behavioral research and human factors through industry work. I have worked as a consultant for manufacturers on product design, risk analysis, and human-product interaction, leveraging my expertise to improve user experience and safety. I am an expert in: - Linguistic Analysis: Whether it's pure theoretical linguistic analysis or computational analysis, I have served as an NLP Consultant for a large fintech company since 2020 and have produced multiple linguistics research papers and conference talks since 2017. - Research Design: From identifying research needs and formulating hypotheses to conducting research through various methods (experiments, literature reviews/meta-analyses, computational models, ethnography, etc.), I excel in collecting and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data and writing comprehensive reports. - Human Factors: With a focus on human-product interaction, user experience, and risk analysis, I have consulted for manufacturers to design and enhance products. My work ensures that products meet safety standards, are user-friendly, and effectively address user needs through evidence-based design practices.

    I'm a Python and C++ developer with 18 years of experience. I can efficiently handle a wide variety of tasks in data science, machine learning, software architecture and debugging, and more. I'm most interested in speech and audio processing. I'm good at writing, and always prioritize clear communication in my work. After graduating with a dual Bachelor's Degree in 2004, I was the lead developer of a product for distributed entity resolution and name matching at a Washington, DC area contractor for 6 years. Starting with an existing prototype and legacy C++ libraries, I combined Python and C++ to create a high-performance, distributed tool for use by data analysts. I documented the code and created automated tests, then trained several new developers who joined the team. I wrote our user documentation, and after our first release to customers, I worked with them closely to add new features and fix bugs. In writing and maintaining a high-performance distributed application I became proficient with the POSIX API including threading, the file system, and networking. Since leaving this contractor, I have been developing my own software product for foreign language learning. It takes user input from the microphone, and uses machine learning to present appropriate study material. The product is still in development. The prototype uses Python with NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, and Torch, and I have become proficient in using these tools to process and explore data and develop machine learning models. I also developed a speech corpus from public domain data, aligned the transcriptions with the audio using Kaldi, and extracted spectral features to be used in my speech processing pipeline. My dual Bachelor's is in Computer Science, and International Languages and Cultures - French. I studied computer science in Bordeaux, France for one semester and speak and write French fluently. My native language is American English. I also studied Chinese for 2 years in college, and taught English in China for one year after graduation. I speak Mandarin fluently and read and write Chinese. I have done professional translation work from both French and Chinese to English, including a translation of Xu Dan's book titled Introduction to Chinese Syntax, published by l'Asiathèque. I have done editing and translation work for Xu Dan and other linguists on many projects over the past 18 years. In both this and my software development work, I take pride in producing high-quality work.
