SEEKING WORK | USA, Eastern timezone | remote only | part-time
Technologies: Python, NumPy, Torch, C++, Linux
I specialize in speech and audio processing, but I'm open to a wide variety of back-end work. I like short-term or intermittent jobs, but would also consider longer-term.
I started as a developer in 2005, bringing to production and then maintaining and documenting a distributed entity resolution system in C++ and Python. I started working with speech and audio in 2013, primarily working solo on my own Web application for foreign language pronunciation learning, which you can try at https://accentlab.net https://accentlab.net . This involved developing the full stack, from collecting and cleaning speech data, to training my own custom acoustic models for pronunciation analysis in Python with NumPy and Torch, to learning Flask, Django, Bootstrap and JavaScript for the web interface, to user testing.
For freelancing, I prefer jobs involving speech or audio processing, but I'm open to a wide variety of tasks, primarily backend. Jobs I've particularly enjoyed include: a quick bounty for rooting out synchronization bugs in a large multithreaded C++ codebase; developing custom audio processing modules with SciPy's filter library; creating a speech keyword-spotting module for a telephone assistant using a pre-trained Kaldi model; training a custom classifier for music synthesizer samples.
Other jobs I've done include using APIs for HubSpot, Zoho, AdSense, etc.; helping businesses with bulk generation of PDFs; developing a cross-platform TkInter application.
