Hello. I'm a Research Scientist for the `Air Force Research Laboratory
`_, interested in Artificial Intelligence
(both symbolic and statistical). I'm currently working on intelligent agents
and natural language understanding. I install `Linux
`_ on anything I can, and use `Spacemacs
`_ to write code in style.
I received my Ph.D. in `Computer Science `_
and `Cognitive Science `_ from Indiana University
in 2015. My dissertation focused on computationally modeling `how
programmers read and understand code `_. I
received my B.S. in Computer Science from the `University of Wyoming
`_ in 2006. From 2003-2007, I did contract programming
for businesses and government offices in the Wyoming and Colorado area.
Before going to IU in 2008, I worked as a consultant for `Logical
Information Machines `_.
In my free time (when I'm not dad-ing), I like to work on `Rhasspy
`_ for home automation and to draw
`silly things `_ with `Inkscape
`_.
