Googler | Designer | Engineer

I studied Computing, Cognition & Aesthetics (independent BA) and Computer Science (MEng) at Cornell.

My thesis projects examined data, computation, design and their intersection.

At Google I've worked on mobile maps and gmail, suggest, query refinements, social search, goggles, mobile search and Chrome for Android.

This site was born as a photo journal during a semester spent studying abroad and has evolved into a curated stream of links, text, and images. Views expressed here are my own and in no way represent the views of my employer.
