Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Goodkind is a Research Engineer and computational linguist with 14 years of experience building NLP- and ML-driven products that bridge cognitive science and real-world accessibility. He currently leads efforts to redesign video conferencing for neurodiverse users at the University of Maryland while consulting on LLM integration to augment human intelligence through Kairos Research. His background spans translational NLP at the NIH—building counseling chatbots with RAG—and a PhD studying keystroke patterns to predict social dynamics, reflecting a rare mix of experimental design, behavioral metrics, and production ML. Adam combines pragmatic product delivery (from prototyping front-ends to deploying language models) with deep research instincts, having recruited and managed large-scale human-subject studies. Based in Portland, Maine, he brings interdisciplinary fluency across computational linguistics, cognitive science, and HCI, and often surfaces subtle behavioral signals (like typing rhythms) that unlock new features and accessibility gains.
