 Thomas Q Brady is a design technologist at Take Two Games (Rockstar Games, 2K Games, Private Division, and Zynga). He works on the Applied Artificial Intelligence team, building automated tools for designers, developers, writers, and producers.  

In previous roles, he's been a front-end engineer—building UIs and working on reusable component libraries and design language systems at places like Visa, frog design, and the retail chain H-E-B. He has also been a product designer—designing interfaces for videoconferencing software and hardware at Polycom. He led a central design team that consulted with hardware and software startups at the incubator Carnegie Technologies and authored the O'Reilly Guide to Ember.js. 

When he's not at work, you'll most likely find Thomas hanging out with his wife, teen son, and pre-teen daughter, probably watching a movie or an episode of Community/The Office—unless he's sneaked off somewhere to do some reading. Usually, it's something about physics, philosophy, anthropology, or quite possibly comic books.
