Worked extensively on the giellalt/lang-kal repository to expand and refine language processing capabilities, focusing on lexicon and morphological rule development for Inuktitut. Over eight months, delivered 26 features and resolved 14 bugs, enhancing vocabulary coverage, inflectional accuracy, and localization quality. Leveraged LexC and lexc for lexical data modeling and rule-based morphological analysis, applying linguistic programming and data management best practices. Implemented targeted vocabulary expansions, standardized verb forms, and improved UI localization, resulting in more reliable parsing and generation for downstream NLP tasks. Maintained repository hygiene through disciplined version control, ensuring traceable, maintainable updates and robust language tooling for future growth.
