I am a Research Staff Member at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I work to empower communities to make better decisions in pursuit of a more sustainable future. I do this by improving the tools and algorithms which facilitate human communication, collaboration, and shared creation of knowledge.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, bicycling, hiking (especially in the mountains and deserts of the American West), tinkering and building things, photography, and general hacking and programming.

Academic

Cyclopath, a research project which I co-founded, is a geowiki and route-finding service for cyclists in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area.
Information for TAs at the UMN Computer Science Department.
I created an open-source bibliography manager called Yabman. It’s currently usable but in a pre-alpha state.
