Report

Restless mind, rolling stone. I've worked in higher education, web design, enterprise software, technical writing, and transdisciplinary academic research. I sometimes come across as an ideas man, but I am also very much at home in detail-oriented logistics, community-organizing, and horizontal organizations.

More of an editor than a writer.

My pet interests are new forms of governance, particularly human-centric data governance, critical race theory (i.e., "inclusion with teeth"), linguistics, and what comes after capitalism.
