Hi, I'm Geoffrey. I'm a PhD student in computer science at MIT, in the Software Design Group. My goal is to make programming radically more accessible, so that everyone can build and tweak their own software.

These days, I'm hacking on Wildcard, a platform that empowers end users to build a web browser extension without learning HTML and Javascript. I've also built debugging tools like Margin Notes and Ladybug, and written about my love for browser extensions.

To get occasional updates about my work, follow me on Twitter or subscribe via RSS.

Previously, I was an early engineer at Panorama Education (YC S13), an edtech startup building data analytics software for K-12 schools. I helped grow Panorama into a market leader that serves 10 million students.

Here are some things I've made:
