Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Cadigan is a computer scientist specializing in natural language processing with 12 years of experience building production-ready ML systems and research-driven solutions. Based in San Diego, he currently applies multimodal semantic media forensics and procedural-language NLP at SRI International after leading machine learning efforts at Ntent where he built record-linkage, news classification, truecasing, and NER models and helped ship a platform for non-experts. His background spans low-level C++ system design for multi-camera instrumentation to large-scale NLP experiments (including Transformer-based language modeling and Spark topic modeling), showing fluency across engineering stacks. He holds an MS in Computational Linguistics from the University of Washington and brings uncommon linguistic depth—degrees in Russian and Korean plus CELTA teaching experience—that informs robust, language-aware modeling. Colleagues rely on him to bridge research publications and production systems, translating novel algorithms into debuggable, inspectable pipelines.
