Ideally I would love to work from home, taking care of my two daughters and continuing to be the homemaker that allows my wife to grow professionally while not having to worry about household chores after a long day. Something part time, during school hours, would be equally sufficient.My primary academic interest is Natural Language Processing. I have always been a philologist, but the intersection of linguistics and computation have been a lifelong fascination. To that end I have earned certificates in Python, and set up a Linux machine in order to better acquaint myself with command line interfaces and software development across operating systems.Of all my past employment opportunities, I enjoyed being an optical assistant the most. Meeting new patients, engaging in small talk while helping them look their best, dispensing glasses that let them see the world in greater clarity, and then solving problems when their eyewear needed repair. It was all so fulfilling.
