Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Roe is a Principal Software Engineer and NLP researcher with nine years of experience building production-grade voice analytics, machine learning, and large-scale data processing systems. He combines hands-on research in transformers and BERT with practical engineering across Java, Python, Spark/Hadoop, and AWS to move models from prototype to cloud-native deployment. At Maryland Research Institute he blends analytics, data science, and NLP research, while prior roles span full-stack voice analytics, embedded systems, and mission visualization. His background includes both hardware/software integration (Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microelectronics) and enterprise-grade backend design (Spring Boot, ElasticSearch, MySQL). William holds an M.S. in Information Assurance and a B.S. in Computer Science (cum laude), reflecting a mix of security-conscious engineering and applied research. He is equally comfortable tuning deep learning pipelines and leading architecture for scalable analytics in production.
