I am an experienced development/product manager of language technology and international software. At Microsoft, ABBYY, Microlytics, Lexpertise, and ALPNET, I developed natural language processing tools for readers, writers, and translators. At Yahoo!, Apple, Palm, and Claris, I led the internationalization of application and system software, including a stint as Apple’s International Technology Evangelist. I have done interesting, original work in social media globalization, translation memory, translation editors, grammar and style checkers, second language checkers, electronic references, and quality assurance methodologies for proofreading tools and machine translation systems.
