A researcher exploring _malleable software_: computing environments where anyone can mold their tools to their own unique needs.

For more background on what that mission means and why it matters to him, check out my [interview on the Metamuse podcast](https://museapp.com/podcast/34-bring-your-own-client/).

Geoffrey is currently a senior researcher at the independent research lab [[Ink & Switch]], leading our Malleable Software research track.

Before that, he completed a PhD at MIT CSAIL in the [Software Design Group](http://sdg.csail.mit.edu/) advised by [Daniel Jackson](http://people.csail.mit.edu/dnj/). Before _that_, he spent five years as an early engineer and designer building the edtech startup [Panorama Education](https://www.panoramaed.com/) (YC S13).

These days, he is thinking a lot about **AI + malleable software**: How can LLMs help people make their own custom software?
