Hi 👋, I'm Kathy Reid @kathyreid

I'm into open source systems, and I'm a PhD student at @ANUCybernetics at Australian National University in Canberra, where I'm looking at voice data and its biases, with a focus on speech technology that works better for more people. I have a Research Partnership with @Mozilla's Common Voice team.

I value;

• 👐 open sharing of knowledge, code, results.
• 📔 non-code contributions - documentation, project management, governance, "glue" work - are all forms of effort and labour, and should be counted as contributions.
• ✊ 🌈 people irrespective of their skin colour, gender expression, spiritual beliefs, country of origin or antecedent disciplines.

Together we do better.

 

What I'm learning 🌱

• Machine Learning: DeepSpeech, Tensorflow, more Python
• Data Visualisation: d3.js mostly
