Top SchoolJustin Richards is a software engineer with 11 years of experience combining full‑stack development, machine learning/NLP research, and technical instruction. He currently builds production systems at HubSpot and previously engineered scalable data pipelines and automation at Samsung that increased reporting throughput tenfold. Justin has a research pedigree in computational linguistics with conference publications in speech and NLP, and he applies that expertise to practical ML solutions—from stock‑return models to media ingestion pipelines.
