Jonathan recently completed a Ph\.D\. in Digital Humanities at New York University, where his research focused on data\-quality methods for text and language datasets\. He is particularly strong at turning research questions into reproducible, generalizable tools and methods rather than one\-off analyses, and has developed six reusable metrics for assessing text\-data quality\. His work also uses probabilistic NLP modeling, data analysis, and visualization design, including research that used data to uncover a missing chapter and that treats poor data quality as a potentially meaningful signal\. Jonathan has served as an independent technical owner on research projects, contributing Python and broader software\-engineering expertise across literary research, neuroscience, entity resolution, and quantum\-computing image analysis\. His experience includes developing Neurobagel at The Neuro, NLP modeling and dashboards at the Centre de recherche de l'IUGM, text\-mining visualization work at McGill University, and game\-development systems for Nintendo DS titles at 5TH Cell Media\. He holds degrees from NYU, McGill University, the University of Washington, and the University of Maryland\. ## Services - Research Skills - Natural Language Processing \(NLP\) - Information Science - HTML - Programming - Microsoft Office - Social Media - Java - Wordpress - Software Engineering - Creative Writing - JavaScript - Topic Modeling - Data Visualization - CSS - Editing - Technical Writing - Video Games - Localization - Blogging ## Highlights - Completed a Ph\.D\. in English and American Literature, Digital Humanities at New York University in 2026\. - Served as a MacCracken Doctoral Fellow at New York University, researching data quality, probabilistic NLP text modeling, analysis, and data\-visualization design\. - Developed six reproducible, reusable metrics for assessing data quality in text and language datasets\. - Designed and developed Neurobagel, a web\-based suite and ecosystem for integration, annotation, and federated querying of neuroscience datasets, for Dr\.
