Bio
I started using Perl almost 20 years ago, at the Stony Brook Algorithms lab (now known as the Data Science lab), for NLP and computational finance applications as a CS grad student. I worked on large scale Perl systems frequently after that, mostly in Natural Language / Linguistic Processing at the NY-based Eatoni Ergonomics, a company that specialized in predictive text entry solutions. I am currently working in Manchester, UK as a Principal Developer at SpareRoom, a popular room and roommate-finding service. In my spare time I develop software for astronomers and astrophotographers (mainly iOS - details in my astro blog).
