Ian combines an incredible vast background of self-taught programming with an impressive formal training in Linguistics.

This mix allows him to tackle the most complex problems in NLP, but it doesn't end there. His passion about programming, hacking compiler backends and learning engineering techniques, gives him the resources to solve all kinds of challenging problems.

Ian loves books and he learned the theory and rules of ping pong by reading a book about it. He's great at Go (ranked the 4th best Uruguayan at PandaNet) and because of his height he's the only one able to cover German at the office's basketball matches.
