About me
Hi! My name is Bill Dengler. I'm a final semester computer science major with minors in linguistics (toward which I'm counting this course) and global studies. I have been totally blind since birth due to Norrie disease – I use the NVDA and VoiceOver screen readers to access my computer and phone respectively.
Though my specialty is accessible technology (after graduation, I'll be starting a full-time software engineering position at Microsoft, hopefully on the Accessibility Insights team), I have done a little bit at the intersection of computation and linguistics, though definitely more rooted in the former. Last semester (fall 2021), Jonathan and I developed a tool to make syntax trees (and other types of trees more generally) accessible to blind people. While I am interested in language, especially how it operates as a "system", my linguistics experience is far more limited, particularly in the areas of phonetics and phonology.
