I really like problem solving, and writing is where problem solving information meets aesthetics. Great pleasure comes from beautiful uses of language and code;
like when antonyms have the same number of letters,
even more synonyms with all word widths as options,
this gift allowing code and poem rivers to trickle;
Research[1] possible improvements to our ability to rank stuff. Human preferences is a very complex topic, but even more so is how to optimally adjust to human preferences so that we can achieve satisfaction and fairness with utility.
Experiment[2] with visual ways to represent quality of ordering. Because ranked data consumption patterns vary greatly, perception should not be abstracted away. Instead, it can become a useful tool to bring understanding and improvement.
Develop[3] tools implementing ranking evaluation techniques. Offering the latest research and experimentation results with Open Source libraries.

I want to solve a problem. I know how to sort things, literally.
Ranking theory is a central topic in Information Retrieval and has a wide range of applications. Web search is the most common, but there are more specific query scenarios where the result set ordering is specially impactful.
