I am a software developer at Amazon.com on the browse relevance team. I work on the left-hand navigation for search pages, trying to present relevant category results to users. Most recently, I added international support and built out our service worldwide.
I work on a couple projects in my spare time, some of which are on github. None of my personal projects are in any way affiliated with Amazon.com.
I'm interested in free speech, data mining, machine learning, and open source.

Projects
I am currently working on a project seeking to bring more accountability to online news publishers. You can find out more about revisionews on github.
Research
I did some research on the construction of a large scale recommender system for social networks in college. This involved mining data from a large social news website and then applying PCA/LSI/etc. You can see some of my matrices in the UF Sparse Matrix Collection.
