In the course of a career in which he held influential positions at Sun Microsystems, Bellcore, and IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center, Nielsen founded the discount usability engineering movement for fast and cheap improvements of user interfaces and invented several usability methods, including heuristic evaluation.
