Writer, translator, computational linguist. I am interested in amplifying non-hegemonic voices, cultures, and languages; I'm also a techno-pessimist interested in how the attention economy's feedback loop between language and collective belief redounds upon political orientation and the construction of worldviews. My academic credentials are in creative writing, comparative literature, and computational linguistics. Professionally, I have worked as a software engineer and researcher. I am currently working on the Abstract Wikipedia project with the Wikimedia Foundation and doing corpus-linguistic analysis of educational and political discourse at the University of Bristol.
