PJ makes applications, software, and products that are easy to use, effective, and powerful, and that produce meaningful results for their users--which always leads to meaningful results for businesses.

At Amazon he manages a prolific and multi-disciplinary product team that seeks to elevate Amazon's browsing experience while reducing, streamlining, and automating internal processes. To accomplish this goal, his team creates, supports, and continuously improves a portfolio of globally available software, both customer-facing and internal.

PJ has a huge passion for companies that put their users first (and not the ones that just say they do), and is fascinated by the creative process, the relationships that fuel creative work, and Pixar Animation Studios. He lives with his beautiful wife Sara in Seattle.

Steve Hillenius is a UX Manager and Designer at NASA. He takes passion in understanding the complex world of space flight and distilling it down into minimalist usable interfaces. Steve leads a team that has designed software for astronauts, scientists, and engineers to control the International Space Station, Mars Rover Curiosity, and LADEE, a cool little lunar orbiter that's currently studying the Moon's exosphere.

In addition to space flight he has a passion for film photography, car design, and wearable computers. He also thinks the raspberry pi is the best thing since sliced bread.
