I make products & services look & feel their best.

Currently focused on Generative AI, LLMs, & Cybersecurity, you can find Mike behind a desk or in the woods.

Current Focus

Areas I've Been Dedicating Attention

LLMs & Artificial Intelligence

As Large Language Models become essential to our world, how can we thoughtfully ensure these systems are ethically designed and deployed?

Private by Design

In this world of algorithms and big data, how do we ensure our user's privacy is preserved while still creating top-shelf experiences?

The Design of Disinformation

How do our design patterns inform and educate users? How can we nudge them in the right direction? What does truth look like? How can you tell?

User Experience v. Security

Are there times when a user's security should take a backseat to their in-the-moment experience? What are those pros and cons?
