+++++ SEARCH ENGINE EXPERT / SOFTWARE ENGINEER +++++
I'm an expert on search engines.  This includes
- Having worked for one of the smaller web search engine companies (Bing syndication partner) for 2 years.
- JUJU.COM:  A job search engine running their own crawlers, index, frontend, and API-based data syndication, where I worked for 2 years.
- TRAKTORO.NET:  A search engine for used land machines.  I ran a team of 5 developers and, over the course of 2 months, stood up this service from zero with no outside supervision where technology was concerned (only a business-need from a newly formed startup)
- ELASTICSEARCH, SOLR, LUCENE work:  This has included the use of elasticsearch for the implementation of search functionality across in-app data in an emergency operations center software suite (think: 911 dispatch).  This was the market-leading software of this kind in Germany &amp; the Netherlands.
- Focused on NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING and INFORMATION RETRIEVAL in my studies at the UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.
