Summary
Looking for contract opportunities in AI and machine learning, especially NLP and search. I can consult with your team or provide complete solutions. I have a PhD in computer science from Stanford University and BS and MS degrees in computer science from BYU along with extensive software development experience, especially using machine learning to extract information from the Web and create leading-edge search engines. I have served as the CTO of FamilySearch and have co-founded several software startups: Junglee, acquired by Amazon, RootsFinder, acquired by Findmypast, WhizBang! Labs, acquired by Inxight Software, and FlipDog, acquired by Monster.com. My interest in family history prompted me to develop two other family history websites: gengophers.com and werelate.org, both of which have been listed among the top 101 family history websites according to Family Tree Magazine. Finally, I've written over a dozen publications which have been cited over 6,000 times according to academic.research.microsoft.com.
