Experience

IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY (12/02 to Present):

Research Staff Member. Joined the Social Computing Group to design, implement, and study social software, including online communities, social visualization, and grassroots team tools.

Selected Projects:

  • Social Computing for the Next Billions. Five of the the six billion people on Earth have limited or no access to the benefits of information technology. But that's changing. What does it mean to make software that specifically targets these markets? I initiated and lead the Social Computing Group effort to answer this question.
    • As the team lead, I set team goals and align our work with the IBM business. I also initiate and manage relationships with internal and external partners. I've made presentations at key conferences and meetings in the US, Africa, and India on the team's work.
    • As a contributor, I've done fieldwork in rural Uganda and Rwanda. I worked with a non-profit to deploy and study incentive-based SMS quizzes focused on health education to roughly 3000 workers in rural Uganda (published in ACM DEV 2010). I built smartphone (Android), SMS, and voice applications that target developing nations. I've also played a central role in the development of the IBM Mobile Services Platform - a cloud-based platform that makes it easier to develop, deploy, and collect payment for mobile phone applications. These applications can combine Voice and SMS. To date, I've done work on the ground in Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, South Africa, Nigeria, and India. Seven patents have filed on this work.
  • Virtual Team Building Games. Iteratively designed, implemented, and studied cooperative games in Second Life that facilitate the development of team cohesiveness at a distance. Papers detailing this work appear in ACM DIS 2008, CHI 2009, and ICIC 2010.
  • Social Visualization for Software Development. Designed, implemented, and studied numerous visualizations of social interaction in open source software development processes. These visualizations appeared in the initial preview of Rational Jazz at OOPSLA 2005 and shipped on CD to selected early adopters. Papers on this work have appeared in CHI and CSCW, and two patents have issued.
  • Incentive Mechanisms and Online Community. Served as lead organizer of workshop at Group 2005 that brought together researchers working with a variety of online communities with the aim of better understanding the diverse set of incentives that drive participation in those communities.

College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA (10/96 to 5/03):

Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science. Received fellowships from the NSF, IBM and Intel to pursue a doctorate in Computer Science with a focus on Human-Computer Interaction. My dissertation work, Palaver Tree Online, involved the design and implementation of an online community that supports kids interviewing elders to build up a shared database of oral history. Within this environment, kids and elders work together to explore elders' life stories and build artifacts that share these stories with the world. This work was funded by IBM and Intel. Other research interests while at Georgia Tech included ubiquitous computing from an applications perspective.

IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY (6/98 to 9/98):

Summer Intern. Designed and prototyped extensions to Babble, a distributed workgroup support system developed at IBM Research. Babble allows members of a workgroup to stay in contact through semi-synchronous textual discussion (both public and private) and variety of awareness aids. Performed an in-depth analysis of the system as it currently exists and created a number of design sketches, prototypes, and working versions of an improved Babble that supports much richer interaction. Two patents have issued on this work.

Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, Palo Alto, CA (6/97 to 9/97):

Summer Intern. Designed and built the infrastructure for Audio Aura, an audio augmented reality system. This system is designed to provide peripheral awareness of one's environment via audio. It uses positioning data from an active badge system and keyboard activity to form a flexible, queryable data store. Audio Aura Services include E-mail Notification, Audio Footprints, and Group Pulse. New Services may be authored by users. This work was published in the proceedings of CHI 98. Two patents have issued on this work.

Human-Computer Interaction Lab, University of Maryland, College Park, MD (6/95 to 9/96):

Faculty Research Assistant. Participated in a system-wide analysis and redesign of the information system for the Maryland Department of Juvenile Justice. Used an iterative design process at DJJ to design and implement a dynamic query interface that allows for the assignment of troubled youth to appropriate facilities. This work was published in the proceedings of CHI 97.

Information Data Systems, Inc. & LAN Based Systems, Inc., Silver Spring, MD (7/89 to 9/95):

Computer Programmer. Developed database and other systems based on technical specifications. Designed modular memory management and user interface objects for use in present and future systems. Developed multimillion dollar SAFE system for the U.S. Treasury Department, INVEST system for NIDA and many others.

Analyst. Wrote technical specifications for project proposals. Aided president regarding future ventures and the execution thereof. Negotiated contracts with clients. Evaluated client needs and recommended solutions.

Network Administrator. Set up and maintained local area networks for the U.S. Treasury, NIDA, The Product Group, Information Data Systems and many others.
