I am a product guy with passion for creating useful and delightful experiences for users. Most stuff I worked on are large-size products that solve complex user problems and serve thousands to millions of customers. It involves cross-functional team efforts in areas like:
I was also a computer science researcher, so I shared research work I did years ago (scroll all the way to the bottom). That said, I have a different point of view on today's computer science research.
- Product Strategy. Collecting and analyzing business requirements, understanding user needs, owning high-level product initiative and roadmap, figuring out go-to-market strategy, pricing strategy, and branding.
- Product Design. Executing design. Developing user journeys, wireframes, mocks, visual assets, interactive prototypes, and shipping code (sometimes).
- Cross-functional partnership. Partnering with XFN teams (PM, Eng, marketing, sales) to drive projects, establish consensus, and iterate and ship products.

AnatOnMe
(Pronunciation: "Anatomy") I co-invented this wacky "Augmented Reality" prototype at Microsoft Research. We learned from physical therapists that the more information the patients have about their injuries, the more likely they are to comply with physical therapy regimens. So we created AnatOnMe give patients that extra bit of information. The device projects an image of the underlying bone structure, muscle tissue, tendons, or nerves onto the skin, giving patients a better understanding of the injury, and of what they need to do to help the healing process.
I co-authored a paper and gave a talk about AnatOnMe in CHI 2011, the top conference for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
Believe me, it doesn't look creepy :-)
