Thanks for stopping by!

My research focuses on computational analysis of Psalms in the Hebrew Bible (tehillim.dev).

I'm an instructional associate at Georgia Tech for graduate level CS6601 Artificial Intelligence, and work as a senior software engineer at Spectrum building real-time, distributed systems. I've earned graduate degrees in Computer Science / AI (Georgia Tech) and Old Testament and Semitic Languages (TEDS).

I have experience creating and maintaining specialized right-to-left language datasets optimized for linguistic analysis of ancient texts and have published first-author papers on novel algorithms for machine translation of wordplay.

When I'm not coding or reading ancient texts, I enjoy trail running in the Colorado mountains. I've run several ultra-marathons including multiple 100 milers. Ultra running has taught me that even seemingly impossible problems can be solved with enough determination, preparation, and agility.

I would love to connect with you and collaborate on interesting projects! Have an awesome day!
