I'm currently a graduate student in Computer Science at the University of San Francisco. I'm particularly interested in information management, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. Additionaly, exploring and leveraging data has become a hobby, and my adventures can usually be found on my projects page or on kaggle.
Previously, I worked in eDiscovery at San Francisco-based H5. As an associate consultant in the Research, Modeling, and Analysis group I helped clients with their large volumes of electronically stored documents. The work helped them meet their production requirements in litigation, as well as helping them navigate and extract information from their document sets. The work used an interesting mix of my skills, including research, corpus analysis, scripting, and linguistic modeling.
Prior to joining the team at H5, I was a graduate student in linguistics at UC Berkeley. I worked in cognitive linguistics, studying how our physical experience of the world influences patterns of meaning and usage in language. While there I was a graduate student instructor for the classes "The Mind and Language" and "Metaphor," and one of the organizers of BLS41. My old graduate student website and my teaching materials can still be viewed here.
