Hello 👋

My name is Harris S. Mowbray and I am a computational linguist from the United States. While getting a degree in International Relations, I started my life project of working with nations around the world to develop Braille for every language that doesn't have it yet, with the goal of allowing visually-impaired people to read and write any language that they want. Since graduating in 2022, I have grown my skills and now work with diverse communities to develop dictionaries, keyboards, teaching resources, and solve other linguistic problems.

I am always looking for more opportunities to put my linguistics and coding skills to good use. If you, or someone you know, might be interested in working together, refer to my contact information below or feel free to reach out on LinkedIn. Presently I work remotely on the East Coast ().

My website hosts various linguistic projects that I did in collaboration with communities around the world including dictionaries, keyboards, and resources to learn different languages and alphabets. The rest of my projects can be found on a separate page on my website. Additionally, my résumé can be found at this link.
