Leland Paul Reimer

I’m a linguist, software engineer, and bellringer:

I got my PhD in Linguistics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2020; my research focuses on the syntax-phonology interface and understudied languages of southern Africa.
I’m a software engineer at Toast.
I’m also the primary developer behind Ringing Room, the online platform for English change ringing.

You can contact me via email (me @ [this site]).
