Senior🎓
Top SchoolKenny Lino is a JavaScript developer and linguist based in Seattle with nine years of experience building user-focused applications and language tools using React, Node/Express, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. His background in linguistics and NLP—reinforced by MS degrees in language technology and hands-on work creating POS taggers and large annotated corpora—gives him a rare ability to bridge language research and practical software engineering. At Apple he helped maintain high-coverage Japanese lexicons for Siri and led a small agile linguist team to consistently meet ambitious weekly targets. He currently annotates and proofreads Japanese learning content for Satori Reader, applying deep grammar knowledge to improve learner-facing materials. Combining rigorous annotation discipline with full‑stack JavaScript skills, he excels at shipping intuitive, linguistically informed features that improve user experience.
