I just started at AOl, where I am leading Developer and Open Source Evangelism. My last job was at Microsoft where I was responsible for partnering with Yahoo! on the successful transition of the Yahoo! Search and Contextual ads business to Microsoft. I commute between NYC, a city of 8 million people, and Enumclaw, WA., a city of 11490 people. This helps me balance out knowing what cutting edge technolgies are popping up with a clear understanding of how they impact the lives of everyday people on a day to day basis. Basically, it keeps me grounded.

I'm passionate about understanding the powerful ways that information architecture invisibly shapes the world for people who use it.
