Where my questions live

PhD in Information Systems (Case Western, 2013). My work sits between the social and the technical — how systems and the people who use them shape one another.

Social network analysis

How relationships and structure shape information flow in organizations.

Big data analytics

Methods and infrastructure for analysis at scale.

Information systems design

Designing systems that fit the way people and organizations actually work.
