In support of the development of an NLP Service for a client. Implemented an opensource Ruby extension for a fast Levenshtein distance and similarity ratio in C.

Implemented an opensource Ruby module that makes it easy to treat various objects as functions, and provides other helper methods for functional programming. Developed this while working on various systems and eased the load of writing data processing code.

An opensource Rails extension that provides union, intersect, and difference set operations for ActiveRecord (also, SQL’s UnionAll). Helped improve performance on complex queries while being able to take advantage of ActiveRecord’s ergonomic query interface.
