My work focuses on data, technology, and public accountability, mostly in and around government.

Previously, I worked as an enforcement technologist at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, led the Finance, Policy, and Data unit in the Philadelphia City Controller’s Office, and taught geospatial data science in Python at the University of Pennsylvania.
