My professional career has alternated between academic research and product development. I have worked at Apple, IBM and Microsoft with User Experience leaders — including Don Norman, Alan Kay and Larry Tesler — and I co-founded an educational software spinoff from Apple.

My main academic interest is in End User Programming: finding novel ways to bring some of the power of programming to non-programmers, with Programming by Demonstration being my preferred approach. My work focuses on making it easier for end users to automate their repetitive activities.

I received a B.A. in Mathematics from Princeton University, a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Yale University, and spent several years as a post-doc and Sloan Fellow in Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego.
