I’m Jeremy Vernon, a student at the University of Toronto studying Peace and Conflict through the Trudeau Centre at the Munk School for International Studies and Cognitive Science at University College. I’ve worked as a software developer, consultant, designer and user-experience engineer for nine years.
I returned to school from working in the business world in the hopes of exploring the nature of how people think, how situations of deprivation are linked to the way people think and how technology affects cognition in ways to prevent such deprivation.
OrgCog was created to provide a repository for my thoughts and findings as I explore this field and to distill what I’ve learned. I hope to, in future, turn it into a venture in the vein of DevelopmentSeed – an excellent web-development and consultancy company in Washington DC.
I maintain an ego-blog at jeremyvernon.com where I discuss diverse issues of personal relevance such as games/gaming, student life, technology, politics or my grievances with some injustice or other.
