The Tech Museum of Innovation; San Jose, California
Collaborated with Stewart McSherry, a computer artist, to design an interactive installation for displaying his various animation projects. The interface was required to be hands-free, intuitive, engaging, and simple enough for small children. Museum-goers were presented with a live video image of themselves and animated, 3D icons superimposed around them. An icon was activated when any part of the user's body in the video image came into contact with it, thus triggering a specific animation piece to be played.
SGI (formerly Silicon Graphics, Inc.); Mountain View, California
Member of the engineering team for the Indigo Magic User Environment, SGI's desktop user interface for UNIX. System written in C++ on IRIX using the X11/Motif toolkit as well as SGI-developed toolkits such as IRIS ViewKit, an application framework, and portions of the IRIS Media Libraries, for digital audio and video. Specialized in user interface design and application development. Worked through multiple development cycles of product. Developed and patented system for integrating web bookmarks into desktop environment (see Distinctions below). Redesigned application for finding system resources (e.g., files, printers, peripherals, systems, users) locally or on other systems on the network. Built and maintained control panels for modifying various system and user settings. Worked on application which allowed users to group logically similar icons for easy access, regardless of where they resided on the filesystem. Reorganized and managed group's source tree.
