- Developed a machine learning pipeline able to recognize threats, prejudice, and more; across 100 languages. This helps intelligence analysts focus on the risks with the strongest signal.- Invented a context-sensitive but language-independent algorithm for performing toponym resolution (e.g. “London, Ontario” vs “London, UK”). It typically completes in under 100ms. This helps intelligence analysts perform location-based searches and filters. - Implemented advanced entity enrichment for locations, people, and organizations across a 12+ languages. This helps intelligence analysts better contextualize their data.- Built a language analysis microservice capable of processing 1,000,000s of texts per day.- Took ownership of all phases of the software development lifecycle: design, implementation, testing, containerization, deployment, release management, and the visualization of metrics.

- Lead Developer for the company’s mobile application (Xamarin, Android).- Quickly promoted to lead developer on the company’s core information extraction application (Python, Unix).- Implemented a global location disambiguation algorithm that can disambiguate "London, United Kingdom" from "London, Canada" from the available context.- Designed and implemented a named entity recognition (NER) module for extracting a variety of entities from text (using SpaCy and grammar-based heuristics).- Used machine learning techniques to implement a deep learning classifier (neural network) for solving a multilabel text classification problem (using Keras).- Developed a framework for training and testing classifiers by applying cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning to accurately predict model accuracy (using SciKit-Learn).

- Taught English to senior high school students, adults, and special needs students in Japan.- Introduced a variety of technologies to the classroom and to the English department.- Presented local and national conferences for teachers and other assistant language teachers.- Promoted international cooperation and understanding.- Honored as a JET Kizuna Ambassador by the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan.

StatPro provides software for calculating the performance attribution of investment portfolios, which is used by major banks, insurance companies, and fund managers throughout the world.- Fully integrated a 3rd party charting component into the StatPro Client Reporting product.- Generated a sandbox user interface for this component from assembly metadata.- Fully managed the build and release process for this international product.- Designed, tested and deployed a web application that monitored the health of servers running in a server farm.- Described by a director as “a natural at working with greenfield tasks that had abstract requirements”.

“Kinetic Marketing Delivery Systems (Pty) Ltd develops mobile technologies for sales and marketing monitoring.”- Implemented new features for the mobile application.- Identified and resolved bugs in both the client-side mobile application and in the server-side SQL procedures. - Reduced the execution time of a script used for partitioning a replicated database by 50%.- Liaised with clients about feature requests and delivery timelines.- Interviewed and trained new employees.

Astrata Systems implemented a bespoke solution for a non-commercial client that commissioned the development of a mobile phone.- Significantly improved maintainability by refactoring and removing duplicated code and, with it, duplicated bugs.- Implemented critical functionality; e.g. incoming call and text message delivery workflows.- Developed the menu system in such a way that a 3rd party could inject menu workflows into the system and have them execute at runtime.
