An HCI enthusiast, interested in learning technologies and gaming.
I finished my CS PhD from Stanford University in December 2007.
I got my undergrad in EECS from UC Berkeley in 2001.
Cooliris - From 2007 to 2010, I worked on an embeddable 3D wall at this Palo Alto startup. I started the project from scratch, built it on Flash and Papervision 3D, and helped grow it to 5M monthly users. The embeddable wall has been used on Yahoo!, Whitehouse.gov, Wall Street Journal, and other top sites. Recently, Cooliris combined my wall with their LiveShare product, which has been used to share and display photos at KISS concerts.
Digital Pen & Paper Interfaces - My PhD thesis contributed techniques for building software that combines pen, paper, and computer interfaces. One of our projects was a paper notebook for biologists that would automatically associate your handwritten notes to photos you took out in the field.
Travel - Sue and I like to see new places and experience different cultures.
Food & Cooking - Good food is the spice of life. When I find time, I also enjoy experimenting with cooking interesting dishes. Sometimes these experiments work, and sometimes they don't. :-)
Wedding - We got married in 2010 in Palo Alto, CA.
