Manager Software Productivity
Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Hawthorne, NY USA
I conduct research into the psychology of programming, design tools for productivity assessments and am a practitioner of user-centered design. I am currently conducting studies of expert debugging, parallel programmer debugging, and end-user modeling. I am also developing models of programmer behavior. The results of this work enables me to design software tools to better support expert and end-user programmers; as well as to develop ways of measuring software productivity.
I have been been practicing user-centered and participatory design for the last twenty years. I have applied user-centered and participatory design techniques to the design of mobile applications such as WatchPad, and the Safeway Easi-Order application; and to the design of web applications such as The IBM Research Applicant Portal. Before coming to IBM I worked in Apple Computer's Advanced Technology Group using participatory design to co-create informal multi-media authoring tools for use in the classroom.
