I am a Principal Software Engineer at EBSCO Publishing in the Search Services Group, where I work on relevancy ranking improvements in the search engine and on multilingual and cross-lingual search.

Some of my publications and presentations are available online.

I'm a member of the ACM and the ACL.

Some of my interests include, in no particular order:

• Spending time with my wife, kids, and dog
• Reading (history, foreign fiction, biography, sci-fi, fantasy)
• Studying (human) languages, living and dead (Old Norse and Middle Egyptian right now.)
• Photography (primarily medium format, but am dabling in large format and still use 35mm.) I have not jumped on the digital bandwagon, though once in a while I'll use my wife's digital camera.
• Listening to music in a variety of styles, from beboop to hip-hop, death metal to jpop.
• Programming language design and implementation. After spending almost six years professionally working on programming languages at Symantec and Thinking Machines, I've recovered enough to dabble again.
• Playing World of Warcraft. Here's a case where game meets reality. My primary character is a resto Druid in the guild Carnival of Fail on the Scarlet Crusade.

Here are some links to things of no interest to anyone:

• My Blog
• My Facebook page
• Python for Linguistics Programming
• My del.icio.us bookmarks
• My LinkedIn Profile

I'm a Vermonter, and proud of it.
