Hi, my name is Reuben Morais

I'm a software engineer with 12 years of experience. Currently I'm working at voize on on-device ASR + NLP for professional documentation. My past focuses include, from most recent to oldest:

• Leading implementation and operation of Coqui Studio, a Web-based text-to-speech synthesis studio using Coqui's in-house TTS models.
• Building and maintaining Mozilla DeepSpeech and Coqui STT: deep learning based speech-to-text model training, optimization and on-device deployment.
• Operating system and browser development at Mozilla on the Firefox OS project.

I was a co-founder and CTO at Coqui. You can find some of my open source work on GitHub. My email address is me @ this domain.
