Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Zuberek is a linguistic engineer blending eight years of applied linguistics and machine learning experience to build robust speech and language systems for industry and education. He has driven ASR/TTS data pipelines, multilingual text normalization and G2P systems at NVIDIA and now applies that expertise at Meta, while also designing NLP-driven instructional tools during a long tenure at Columbia. Comfortable shifting between research, engineering and pedagogy, he pairs deep linguistic analysis with practical MLOps and scripting to ship production-quality datasets and models. Simon’s background in corpus linguistics, CALL and language pedagogy gives him a rare edge in designing language-aware AI, and he’s equally at home mentoring students, authoring technical documentation, or tuning objective speech-quality metrics. A self-described lover of ambiguity, he leverages that curiosity to tackle edge cases in multilingual speech and text processing.
