My name is Michael Novati and I'm an entrepreneur and web programmer who makes magic happen. My research interests are to study how people use technology to interact with each other and their surroundings (on a large scale) and develop applications that enhance these interactions. I'm currently working at Facebook Inc. in Palo Alto, California as a Software Engineer. Eventually, I want to pursue my Ph.D in Computer Science at the University of Washington in Seattle. I'm also co-founder and president of internSHARE, an internship review website with more 10,000 members.
