Sure, I live in Rome, Italy, where I've a wonderful family (wife and son) and where I work as a software engineer, my main interests and passions are information retrieval, natural language processing and machine learning. My story at ASF started back in 2009 when I began to contribute to Apache UIMA as I was using it for applying NLP algorithms on data extracted from the web for my master degree final work; now I am an Apache member contributing to UIMA and other projects. In the last two years I've worked on two quite big projects for migrating commercial closed source based search engines to Lucene/Solr backed systems hence I started getting my hands dirty with Lucene/Solr (the Solr-UIMA plugin and the Lucence TypeTokenFilter are maybe my main contributions) and I'm continuing to enjoy the ride. > As soon as you have SVN commit rights, can you > also add yourself to the Lucene and Solr homepages? > sure! > > Congratulations and welcome aboard! > Once again, thank you all for your trust!
