I build new kinds of social applications, leveraging friends' interests and knowledge of each other to solve problems by crowdsourcing to your social network.
I am a graduate student focusing on human-computer interaction at MIT in the Computer Science and AI Lab. I work with Professors David Karger and Rob Miller. Currently I organize the HCI Seminar and the HCI Reading Group, and I recently taught a new course on interaction design and prototyping.
