Summary
Martin Wheatman is a Machine Understanding Engineer with over three decades of hands-on experience building language engines, compilers and networked software, and a PhD in Computer Science focused on transformational algorithms. He founded and evolved Enguage from his post-doctoral research into a natural language understanding shell that maps utterances to database actions, and has delivered practical voice-driven applications for mobile platforms. His background spans C, C++ and Java systems, SGML/XML, and large-scale database work for clients including BAE, Dunnhumby and HP, reflecting deep expertise in both research and production engineering. Unusually, his work bridges semiotics and programming languages—treating speech and code with the same formal model—which gives him a distinctive perspective on language understanding and human–machine interaction.
