About Me
Right now, I’m a graduate student at Bentley College in Waltham, MA and am currently enrolled in the Human Factors in Information Design program. I was an intern at the Bentley Design and Usability Center from January 2008 to April 2008, where I wrote client reports and record observation notes during usability tests My other work experience has been in the customer support field; I’ve been a network technician for Newton-Wellesley Hospital and have worked as a member of the deskside support team at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Right now, I’m working in quality assurance at InterNoded in Waltham.
I’m extremely interested in consumer electronics of all types and I’m an avid video game fan, so those areas of interest have spilled over into my writing. I have three years of archived game and gadget reviews that I’ve written for our student newspaper, the Bentley Vanguard (available here), and my blog hosts some of my more recent thoughts on special-purpose CE equipment like the Amazon Kindle and the Asus EEE PC.
When I’m not doing research for my graduate studies, working, out with my fiancée Katherine, or writing on the latest the tech industry has to offer, I enjoy playing quirky video games like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, NO MORE HEROES, and Trauma Center. I’m also an avid reader (mostly social science topics and fantasy) and an amateur chef (three cheers for pancakes).
