About
My name is Daphna Shezaf, and I am a software developer. I live and work in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
This blog is about stuff my aunt won’t understand.
I have another blog, which is a little bit about myself, and a little bit about stuff I notice or think. Its readership isn’t likely to appreciate stories about my recent move from Joomla to Drupal, or the perils of Socket programming in Java.
So here I am starting a technical blog, better late than ever.The general plan is to write here about the technical aspects of what I do. Which brings us to the question of what I do.
Professionally, I work in a start-up company where I am mostly a Java developer, but as it often goes in start-ups, also as a kind of development handyperson. Academically, I would like to think of myself as a computational linguist. I am working on a master’s thesis related to machine translation in the Hebrew University. Coding there is done mostly in Java and Python. I did a paid web development project once: it was in 1996, when dinosaurs still roamed the cyberspace. Somewhat more recently, I am behind this site.
Hope you enjoy the blog. Please leave comments.
