My interests revolve around design and its relationship to human-computer interactions. After earning my PhD in cognitive psychology, I lectured in the computer science department at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, while advising a number of high-tech startups. Eventually I joined Turing-Award recipient Michael Stonebraker’s MIT-spinoff Tamr, where I built a design team to address issues in big data with machine learning and humans-in-the-loop.

I now reside with my family in the midwest, where I occasionally write about various topics including cognition, chess, and social issues. I currently work at Tableau, a data visualization company which acquired MIT-spinoff Empirical Systems, for which I also served as advisor.
