Before I die, I want to make machines speak and understand human languages and culture. I support Open Source technologies (look for me at the Apache Software Foundation). Before: I worked at NASA JPL as a data scientist, went to USC.edu for grad school, co-founded . Say hi to me on the twitter (@thammegowda) if any of my answers were interesting! ©
