HELLO,

I am a technologist interested in how technology can serve marginalized users. At Oregon State University I earned a PhD in Computer Science for my research on how activist movements consider privacy and use digital information technology. I have years of experience in various aspects of the Software Development stack and Data Analytics. I have a breadth of skills crossing many disciplines of science, art, and communication, all of which I use to solve a variety of problems.
