Hi, I'm Justin Cranshaw. 👋

I'm co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Maestro AI, the observability platform for coding agent sessions. We help organizations see how their best engineers work with AI, and spread those practices across the team.

Previously, I was a researcher at Microsoft Research, where I built intelligent systems that imagined a more meaningful and productive future of work. I was co-founder of Microsoft's Calendar.help, a human- and AI-powered virtual assistant that automated the chore of scheduling meetings.

I have a Ph.D. from the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in Societal Computing. My dissertation research explored intersections between human geography and computing through projects such as Livehoods, Journeys & Notes, and Curated City.

Our paper on Livehoods recently received the Test of Time Award at ICWSM. A full list of my academic publications and patents is available on Google Scholar.
