GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hello! I'm an independent researcher and consultant based in Sainte-Adèle, Québec. I'm probably best known as the originator (but I would not say "author") of the PocketSphinx speech recognizer, which for reasons I cannot fathom, is still widely used by a lot of people. To see what I'm working on lately, it's best to see my blog.
In general, I spend more time deleting than writing code. I have an overwhelming bias towards things that are small, simple, explicit, accessible and either well-documented or self-documenting, though I don't always live up to this ideal. Despite the ever-flowing stream of snark that I produce about it, I actually think that JavaScript and the modern browser is the closest we've ever gotten to a universal Lisp machine, and I'm focusing all of my efforts on this platform.
