Eric Kow

Hi! I'm a Haskell programmer. I am currently engaged to do software development for Computational Linguistics Ltd, and community development work for Well-Typed.

I shall be available for freelance work starting from March 2012 in either software or community development. I prefer working on free software whenever possible, and have a background in natural language processing; but I am flexible on the first front and eager to expand my horizons on the second.

In my spare time, I maintain the Darcs revision control system and try to encourage NLP people to use more Haskell.

In a past life, I was a research fellow in the NLTG group (University of Brighton), where I worked on the PRODIGY, Generation Challenges, and 3D-Coform projects. I also used to work in LORIA with the TALARIS project.
