I am currently a research scientist and team lead at Yahoo!.
Check out our publicly-available prototypes: ZoneTag,
Zurfer
and TagMaps.
I am also one of the co-inventors of Fire Eagle,
currently a Yahoo! Brickhouse project in private beta (email me for an
invitation).
I got my PhD from the Computer Science department
at Stanford University. I did my PhD research as part of the Stanford InfoLab
(formerly known as the Database Group). At Stanford, I was also
affiliated with the HCI
group. In previous lives, I was a professional basketball player, a
software engineer, and a college
radio DJ.
