Building

My work is primarily driven by two interests: civic tech, with a focus on open source, and the research-to-impact pipeline. I enjoy supporting the early, impactful work of design thinking, ideation, and problem-solving that often needs to happen before projects scale.

This page also serves as my Now Page or “a public declaration of current priorities” inspired by the Now Movement. As Kurt Vonnegut put it, the point isn't just the end, but "to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow."
