For the past eight years I've studied AI tools and their consequences for human connection, work, and thought. Teams I've worked with include Wearables AI @ Meta Reality Labs, Facebook for Creators & Public Figures, Google Maps & Assistant, Sumo Logic, Applause, and the Design Lab at UC San Diego.

Mark Zuckerberg and mixed martial artist Brandon Moreno, both wearing Ray-Ban Meta glasses, laugh on stage while a screen behind them shows their conversation translated between English and Spanish. Bringing live translation capabilities to wearables A black-and-yellow auto-rickshaw crosses a sunlit Mumbai road, a city bus and high-rise apartment blocks behind it. 0-to-1 field research in a pre-launch market: India Mark Zuckerberg on the Meta Connect stage beside a giant screen showing a Be My Eyes call — the caller holding a postcard, the volunteer's phone view of it, and the volunteer's reply “It looks like it's happening at 7:30.” Protecting trust: Be My Eyes on AI Glasses Ray-Ban Meta glasses on a tan surface in window light, with five small flag tiles in a row beneath them — France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Germany. De-risking the AI model decision for multi-language capabilities on glasses View from the passenger seat during a ride-along study — a driver interacts with a phone mounted in a testing vehicle on public roads. Safer digital assistant usage for drivers Assistant results for “restaurants nearby” shown side by side in San Francisco, Tokyo, and New Delhi — on iPhone, Android, and the Jio feature phone. Bringing conversational experiences to everyone First-person view from inside a car — the driver's hand waves through the windshield to signal a pedestrian that they can cross. How autonomous vehicles talk to pedestrians The prototype in use at a participant's home — a laptop screen shows a large YES tile while the participant's hand rests on a phone-based input rig mounted with LEGO bricks. Locked-in syndrome communication The ActiveNotes interface — a clinical note with structured order-entry fields embedded inline in free-form text, alongside the patient's active problems and medications. ActiveNotes: rethinking the medical record A small action camera mounted to the handlebars of a road bike with tangled earbuds beside it — the chase bike's recording rig.
