About
Hello! I currently work as an independent consultant, consulting for Nava.
Most recently I worked at Code for America, where I was leading efforts to support public servants with resources and training on the organization’s principles and practices for how government can and should serve the public in the digital age.
For recent thoughts of mine, please see my new blog, Civic Insighter.
