I am a software engineer specializing in machine learning research and production with a PhD in the philosophy of mathematics. Most of my professional work has focused on NLP, especially large-scale hybrid information retrieval (semantic search) and extraction from long documents and large corpora, as used in https://elicit.org/. Broadly speaking, I'm interested in uses of NLP that provide real value by being trustworthy, interpretable, and controllable.Some of my side projects include:- Earworm: Search for royalty-free music by sonic similarity. Uses PyTorch, TensorflowJS for frontend inference, FastAPI, Postgres, FAISS, TypeScript, and React.- Philosophical Graphiti: Visualize relationships among philosophical topics. Uses Django, Postgres, and Vega.
