Summary
Grant Glass is a Senior Data & Applied Scientist with a decade of experience building production AI systems that bridge advanced NLP and large-scale storage architectures. At NetApp he designs language-centric solutions—semantic search, language modeling, and intelligent content routing—that make unstructured data discoverable and workflows more efficient. He also teaches ethics and governance in data science at UNC and NCSU, bringing a humanistic lens from his PhD in English and Digital Humanities into technical practice. That interdisciplinary background enables him to translate subtle language problems into robust, scalable engineering solutions and to anticipate ethical and usability pitfalls before they reach production. Based in Durham, NC, Grant pairs academic rigor with hands-on product delivery, and quietly sustains long-term scholarly projects like his ongoing work with the William Blake Archive.
