Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJesse De Does is a computational linguist with 14+ years of experience building NLP tools, lexica, corpora and electronic dictionaries for language institutes in the Netherlands. He combines a PhD in applied mathematics with formal training in Slavic linguistics, allowing him to bridge rigorous quantitative methods and deep linguistic insight when designing language resources and extraction pipelines. At the Instituut voor de Nederlandse Taal he has led and technically driven projects that turn traditional lexicography into machine-readable, interoperable assets. His background spans research (CWI PhD work in systems and control), electronic publishing, and long-term engineering of reference-data systems, giving him a rare mix of academic depth and production engineering. Jesse is comfortable moving between content modeling, algorithmic solutions and project leadership, and often contributes where linguistic nuance and mathematical structure intersect. Based in The Hague, he focuses on making language data both scientifically precise and practically usable.
