Hi Everyone,
Please extend a warm welcome to the newest member of the Analytics team, Charles Salvia. We're really excited to have Charles on the team!
In his own words:
Charles Salvia is a software engineer/open-source enthusiast who has been programming computers since the days of MS-DOS. Charles worked for a (very small) startup, where he developed a search-engine and webcrawler from scratch, and spent plenty of time researching natural language processing, computational morphology, and machine learning, which eventually landed him a job working at Bloomberg working on web-crawlers and pattern recognition algorithms. Charles regularly posts on Stackoverflow, and contributes to the Boost C++ project, as well as WebKit. Charles can be contacted at csalvia@wikimedia.org.
He'll be working out of New York. Welcome to the Foundation, Charles!
-Toby
Welcome, Charles! I also live in New York (New York City specifically) and look forward to coworking with you sometime, if convenient. :)

Welcome Charles! Glad to have you onboard.
TIL Wikipedia does not have an article on computational morphology. Next best is the article on morphological computation, which disambiguates 50% to non-existing content. Two clicks further I learned morphology is about morphemes which are not to be confused with words. I'm hoping google will add a Knowledge Graph infobox on this topic soon ;-)

Oh, I owe Boost at least a few regained sanity points[1] of the dozens I've lost in my years in the salt mines of corporate C++ programming[2]. Thanks for that!

Welcome aboard, Charles – “regularly posting to Stackoverflow” is slightly understated and really makes me want to quote some reputation percentiles :)
Look forward to working with you!
