Before that, I developed a mapping framework that allows one to overlay very high numbers of polygons and points on top of Google Maps. I have a demo which lets users overlay various demographic layers on top of the 2008 election results.

I got an MS in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia I researched programmer productivity for my thesis, Path Exploration during Code Navigation, supervised by Gail Murphy. I then implemented a prototype of a differential code coverage tool and ran a user study to see if it was useful. It turns out to be really helpful.

I'm proud of the two books I wrote: Overcome Email Overload with Eudora 5 and Overcome Email Overload with Microsoft Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2002.

I have worked in a lot of places doing a lot of things in the high-tech industry.
