I am a researcher/prototyper at the Integrated Consumer Experiences Ideation group at Yahoo! In my previous lives at Yahoo! I was a researcher at Yahoo! Research Berkeley and a prototyper at Yahoo! Mobile.

I graduated from the HCI masters program at the Graphics Visualization & Usability Center, in the Georgia Institute of Technology. While at Georgia Tech I was a graduate research assistant for my advisor, Dr. Elizabeth Mynatt, in the Everyday Computing Lab, as well as a Research Intern at Ricoh Innovations, Inc. After graduating, I spent some time at the Panasonic Wireless Design Center before moving to the Garage Cinema Research Group in UC Berkeley. As a member of the Mobile Media Metadata (MMM) project, I developed ways to leverage contextual metadata collected at a group event to to infer information about both the event and the attendees.

To learn more about my past projects please visit my projects page or my resume. My blog is avalable here.

The main public facing projects from my time at Yahoo! are Zonetag, TagMaps and Zurfer.
