Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBart Jongejan is a seasoned software developer with 14+ years focused on language technology, infrastructure, and computational linguistics, currently maintaining and evolving LT tools at the Centre for Language Technology, University of Copenhagen. Trained in physics, he brings a scientific mindset to engineering problems and a long track record dating back to text-processing and image projects in the 1980s. He combines traditional systems programming (C, C++, Java) with niche expertise in symbolic computation using Bracmat to transform and normalize document formats and symbols—an approach that bridges raw language data and practical LT pipelines. Known for pragmatic tooling that reduces manual work (early NLP work normalizing messy name fields), he thrives on turning linguistic complexity into robust, maintainable software. Based in Copenhagen, he blends research-oriented thinking with decades of hands-on production experience across academia and industry.
