About Me


I'm a programmer and a writer, a researcher and a community manager, and a lot of other things besides. I tend to work at the intersection of people and technology and I have a soft spot in my heart for anything open: open science, open government, open source software.

I run a technical consulting business, Galaxy Rise Consulting, where I work with individuals and organizations to address their technical needs. While I am theoretically open to all sorts of projects, I am currently focused on projects related to digital governance and to progressive technology.

I serve on the Board of Directors of Tech Inquiry, a non-profit run by tech workers combatting problems and abuses in the tech industry. I am part of the core group that leads Metagov. I am also the corresponding secretary for the Ward 4 Democratic Party.
