I've spent my life working at the intersection of society, technology, and politics, driven by a belief in the power of systems architecture in systemic change. My focus has always been on bridging the possibilities of technology with societal needs, striving to make information more accessible and systems more accountable. Nowadays, I work on doing that in relation to climate change.
