Software for linguistics, research and for public benefit
See me on GitHub @jpurma Hosted on GitHub Pages — Theme based on midnight theme by mattgraham
I make visualisations and natural language syntax parsers with Python & Javascript. I am partially available for freelance software / fullstack development.
Kataja - visualising biolinguistics
Kataja is an environment for visualising inner workings of linguistic models in generative tradition. I use it as a testing ground for minimal parsers, but it is a capable tool for drawing syntactic trees for publications and teaching.
d3-ellipse-force plugin
A plugin for d3.js visualisation library to modify popular force-directed network algorithm to handle elliptic force output, for better layout when nodes have uneven width-height ratio.
PixelAnts
A toy visualisation for ant colony algorithm with numpy and Kivy: Ants foraging with minimal individual cognition but with ground as their shared read/write workspace. I kind of see it as a metaphor for neural connections.
For hire
I am an experienced full stack developer/architect available for software development consultancy as Tmi Ihmekoodi -- preferably scientific or research tools and for good cause. I enjoy both quick and lean prototypes and working for long term scalable projects. I am located in Helsinki.

I have been software developer, project researcher and doctoral student in Aalto University school of Arts, Design and Architecture, in Learning Environments Research Group. For the last few years I have been external consultant / fullstack developer for University of Helsinki.
My main personal project is Kataja, visualisation environment for syntactic models in minimalist/biolinguistic flavor.
