I work with open Web technologies to create static and interactive visualizations that are both aesthetically engaging and insightful.
I recently graduated from the Engineering Systems Division at MIT. Formerly, I worked as a research associate looking into the design of complex software systems at Harvard with Prof. Alan MacCormack and spent six months working with Prof. Cesar Hidalgo at the Media Lab. Before that, I was a graduate student in software engineering at Carnegie Mellon, a contributor to a number of hobbyist projects and spent four years in the software industry, as a software developer at first and then as a supervisor of a team of 30 software developers.
I currently work on visualizing Firefox data for the Metrics team at Mozilla in San Francisco while also working as Creative Director at the design firm Skyrill that I co-founded in '09.
