James Tauber’s Summary
Experience in senior technical roles at enterprise software startups with emphasis on advanced technologies, product architecture and design, research and standards.
I am also an active member of the open source community (Python and, recently, Django) and regularly blog at http://jtauber.com/blog/
I have recently commenced part-time doctoral studies in Linguistics at the University of Essex. I am researching the inference of inflectional morphology under a word-and-paradigm approach.
I'm also a filmmaker, producing and DPing the short "Alibi Phone Network" which premiered at the Palm Beach International Film Festival. Currently have a feature film in development (which I'm again producing and DPing)
