I have some experience in both Computer Science (CS21, 35 and 65) and Linguistics (Syntax, Semantics, Sanskrit Grammar), and am hoping to work with someone who can fill in the gaps in my knowledge base. I'd be happy to work with someone with strengths in coding or phonetics/morphology, though, ultimately, I'm not too fussed.
