I currently work for a law firm in New York.

Prior to my current position, I consulted on projects dealing with these topics: text transformation and presentation; Section 508 website accessibility audits and design; Anglo-American legal research; bibliometrics; international human rights; and, genetic genealogy.

In 2005 I delivered a presentation at the Center for Computer Assisted Legal Instruction Annual Conference on "Creating Accessible Web Pages: Web Standards and Accessibility".
