I’m an engineering manager and technical leader with a background in software, product development, and organizational decision-making.

Alongside that, I’ve built a substantial parallel body of work in electoral reform, voting systems, and democratic institutions. I previously served on the board of the Center for Election Science, including as board chair, and I’ve spent years thinking about how electoral rules, incentives, and institutional design shape political outcomes.

My interests sit at the intersection of technology, public reasoning, and social choice: how collective decisions get made, where systems break down, and what better designs might look like. I’m particularly interested in making these ideas accessible and practically useful, whether through public writing, data projects, explainers, or movement-building.

More recently, I’ve been building projects focused on UK election results, proportional representation, and the mechanics of how votes turn into outcomes. I’m especially interested in connecting with people working on:

  • electoral reform and democracy
  • civic technology
  • political strategy and institutions
  • social choice and decision-making
  • philanthropy and movement-building in this space

Nothing else matters  reform because without putting reform any voting policy change won’t actually take effect
