I'm an AI engineer and linguist currently working at Synthflow AI, where I help develop the many AI features underlying Synthflow's voice agents. Before joining Synthflow I was an Applied NLP Engineer at deepset, the company behind the open source Haystack framework and the SaaS platform deepset Cloud.

My background is as a researcher in theoretical, experimental, and mathematical linguistics, and I continue to produce linguistic research in addition to my work in AI. I completed my Ph.D. in linguistics at Stony Brook University in 2018, after which I spent just over three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Leibniz-Center for General Linguistics (ZAS) in Berlin. If you're interested in my research, feel free to check out my academic webpage.

In addition to my work in AI and linguistics, I am also an avid amateur (formerly professional) singer-songwriter, composer, and pianist, as well as a diehard fan of chess and American football (go Ravens!).

My pronouns are he/him.
