Bio
Hi, I'm Greg. I specialize in making difficult things easy, whether that is onboarding new users to integrate a product into their workflow, optimizing an online course for learner success, or helping graduate students and early-career faculty finding rewarding careers in industry. I see things the way newbies do.
Currently, I work in product at Stack Overflow, where I use data and my understanding of the new person's perspective to improve the new user onboarding experience. That means providing just-in-time messaging and recommending data-informed design revisions to optimize user engagement and success.
I hold a Ph.D. in philosophy and was for several years a full-time faculty member in philosophy. I remain active in academic philosophy, with peer-reviewed papers forthcoming, regularly reviewing papers for top journals, and teaching courses in higher education as an adjunct instructor. More information about my career change, and how I am able to help others through it, can be found below.
I also provide consulting services at the intersection of technology, product, and education. Please email me and we can have a conversation about your project and how I can help!
I work on a contract basis as an instructional designer, with particular expertise in aligning activities and assignments to outcomes, identifying technologies that can accomplish instructional goals, and increasing student success. Here and there I review academic manuscripts, instructional titles, and book chapters by contract.
