Experienced Interaction Designer and social-software designer, with years of experience as an in-house consultant at some of the Internets most well-known brands. I have directly contributed to interactive experiences and web-based communities that have reached audiences of millions of people.
Of late, I have been learning and speaking about the design and architecture of online reputation systems, specifically as they impact community dynamics and user motivations. I am co-authoring a book, "Building Web 2.0 Reputation Systems" (O'Reilly Media) that is scheduled for release in late 2009.
