[Use-case] Replacing regex for email-to-name matching

Replacing regex for email-to-name matching

• Context: Company has an email list of thousands of emails and list of names in their database that aren't mapped
• Problem: Can write a matching algorithm but there's dozens of various edge cases and covering all of them exhaustively would take too long
• Workflow:
  • Pass email
  • Pass first name + last name
  • Match
    • Email to full name (eg Ted Johnson => [email protected] and Brianna Vault => [email protected])
