About:
I work and I play and try to keep them one in the same. I'm from Buffalo, NY and live there now, taking classes at SUNY and working full time consulting in digital oral history management. I'm interested in imagining ways to progressively evolve the human/computer interface beyond the QWERTY keyboard and small rectangular screens. I've been working with indexing oral histories for five years, and before that I worked as an Environmental Engineer. My area of research, both in engineering and in digital humanities could be summed up as "cartography". I take large amounts of data, and represent them in formats that help people understand better their meaning.
