For most of his career, Joe worked as a consultant to high-tech companies focusing on user interface design and evaluation methods. His clients included Microsoft, Oracle, Motorola, and the New York Stock Exchange. Most recently he has been consulting with Oracle from his home office on Cape Cod. Throughout the past decade he taught a usability evaluation course in Bentley University’s graduate program as well as tutorials at User eXperience conferences.
