Jack Beaton    
    I am a cross-trained user experience and interaction designer, with a background in user research, engineering, and project management. In my spare time, I'm either taking care of race horses, or somewhere outside the country.

I am currently an API design researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, working to evaluate and recommend redesigns to the SAP Enterprise SOA APIs. My focus is on API usability for software-as-a-service.

My papers can be found at ICSE 2008 (Leipzig) and the upcoming VL/HCC 2008 (Herrsching am Ammersee).

If you could use my help on your own projects, let's talk! Call me up anytime.
 This website's design is out of date, but my work is not. I apologize, but my work is more important than updating this portfolio site right now. If you are interested, please contact me and I will be happy to talk with you about API design, SOA, and how Carnegie Mellon can benefit you.
