I'm an urbanist, technologist, and endlessly curious person.
I've spent much of my career helping governments build better software, often for cities. I've been a full stack developer, product manager, and public sector entrepreneur, including: Leading the technical strategy and EU business development for Helpful Places , a startup helping make technology in public space more transparent and empowering to communities. Helping create l'Incubateur des Territoires at l'Agence nationale de la cohésion des territoires , a publicly-funded incubator, part of the Beta.gouv
I care deeply about cities and communities. I've founded and run volunteer groups, I've been a neighborhood block captain, and I've studied cities through data. I consider myself a local of Paris 🇫🇷 and Grand Rapids 🇺🇸.
