About

When I look back at the last decade of my research, one thing keeps surfacing: curiosity about who gets left behind as technology changes.

My master’s thesis focused on the privacy worries of people who are blind and visually impaired. My PhD studied what makes older adults feel confident that their privacy and safety are protected when using healthcare technology. Many of them talked about fear and doubt around AI, which I wasn’t expecting. It just kept appearing.

When I moved from academic research into industry, the form of the work changed. The curiosity did not.

Right now I’m leading modernization research at CIHI. The work is about making healthcare data available to the people who need it most. I often support the smaller teams. Like groups in the northern territories with tight budgets, doing their best with limited resources.

Future projects will explore AI more. In the meantime, I built a Claude skill for heuristic evaluations and open-sourced it. I write on Substack about what I’m learning. Not just what people need from AI tools, but how AI fits responsibly into research practice itself, so the work continues to support the ones who need it most.

If any of this resonates, I’d be glad to hear from you.
