Making numbers easier to use — for financial planning, education, weather forecasting, systems dynamics, and more.

I conceived, designed, and built this software platform used by research labs around the world to plan and manage grant spending.I currently lead the organization and work with customers, contractors, and interns to help the grant-funded community make the best use of financial resources.

Designing and building powerful, user-friendly analytical tools. Making quantitative modeling more visual.

Biocellion helps life sciences companies use virtual experiments to bring better outcomes to market faster while reducing waste and cost. Biologists can simulate tissues with millions or even billions of cells to quickly test hypotheses or explore large parameter spaces.My focus was making this advanced technology easier to use by scientists who don't necessarily have a background in computer science.

Designed and developed Graph Sketcher, a full-featured macOS software application with a novel user interface that combines freehand vector illustration with data visualization.Conducted usability research (including user studies, heuristic evaluations, and surveys) and managed all aspects of the business including product, marketing, sales, documentation, and customer support.Acquired by The Omni Group in 2008.

Helped with design and engineering of the company's web application for editing, sharing, and viewing structured data in a spreadsheet-like interface.

Created over 20 websites for companies, student organizations, and individuals. See: http://www.robinstewart.com/portfolio/webdesign/I worked with clients to outline the websites’ contents, organization, and message. I then designed and implemented all aspects of the sites, including visual design, web programming, and database-driven content. For some of the sites, I continued to serve as webmaster for many years.

Designed a novel interface for precisely exploring large collections of text documents based on sentence structure.

Designed and programmed physics simulations in Java to enhance a web-based physics textbook.
