This American Life

“… the camera really changed the way we behaved - it still really disturbs me - we lost our humanity, we let one of our classmates just get trampled on - and they weren’t even real cameras …”

Alex Ainslie

I'm a recent Cornell CS MEng graduate interested in data, computation, design and their intersection.

In 2009 I graduated early with an independent BA in Computing, Cognition & Aesthetics and minors in French and Information Science. My honors thesis examined the traces our Bluetooth-enabled devices leave behind in public space and my masters thesis explored opportunities for machine learning and visualization to inform personal sensemaking.

I have spent the past three summers as an intern at Google working on mobile maps and gmail, suggest, query refinements, social search, and most recently goggles and mobile local search. I joined Google fulltime in August 2010 - the views expressed here are mine alone.

This site was born as a personal photo journal during a semester spent abroad in Paris and has evolved into a curated collection of links, text, and images.
