Professionally, I use research and design to solve product and business problems, especially around:

• de-risking the use of emerging technologies through material exploration and prototyping; and
• de-risking early-stage feature and product development through user research, customer development, and participatory design.

I have a particular interest in research techniques as a foundation for observability of the entire product development process.

As of January 2022, I am actively seeking new opportunities in these areas. For more, please see my LinkedIn profile. This is a personal site.

Current hobby projects include:

• Seeing spaces, observability, indirect and performance approaches to Dynamicland, and tools for writing as overlays or layers
• Stereo photography, especially designing new digital stereo cameras, stereoscopes, and software
• Using vintage hardware as chassis for modern computers, and using modern computers as emulators for vintage software
• E-reader design
• Sustainable, long-term, personal archives
• Digitization, especially the potential for computational photography to bring casual digitization closer to archival digitization
• Updates to my past work to improve its access and visibility
