Research Interests
At a very high level, I like building tech that helps people stay safe online. My body of work is centered around the design of supportive experiences for the average internet user and for groups who may feel unheard and invisible. As such, my research and technical experience spans across multiple disciplines including machine learning (specifically recommender systems), psychology, social justice, and my home discipline human-centered computing.
