I spent St. Patrick's day at a hackathon, building a Windows Phone and Web App - 'Eventbook'. This app pulls your Facebook Events and displays the ones happenning close to you on a map.
I volunteered at Adler Planetarium, Chicago to conduct usability evaluation of The Milky Way Project (multi-touch) and design an Augmented Reality based solution for 'The Milky Way' exhibit.
I conducted a detailed usability study of SmugMug's online shopping-cart/checkout process in order to recommend design improvements. Various research methods including usabiliity testing, heuristics analysis, comparative analysis, survey etc. were used as part of the study.
As part of my Masters program in Human-Computer Interaction, I conducted contextual inquiry on a local Ann Arbor non-profit organization - NEW.
The aim of the project was to evaluate and propose business process improvements in the organization's technical services arm.
