"And if you graduate this summer and haven’t arranged anything, just try to wheedle some money from your parents and buy a one-way ticket to Bombay/Dakar/Shanghai/La Paz. I spoke to someone recently who more-or-less did that after my first Win-a-Trip (he flew to Bangkok) and had the time of his life, a truly transformative experience. So just do it…."

Alex AinslieI'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. |
