Technology, product, and AI leadership for mission-driven teams

About Me

I help local newsrooms and nonprofits use technology and AI to better serve their communities. I’m the Technology Lead for the American Journalism Project’s Product & AI Studio, where I build tools and advise on strategy across dozens of partner organizations.

Previously, as Chief Product Officer at The Texas Tribune, I led cross-disciplinary teams in engineering, design, product, analytics, and IT. Earlier work spans startups and research labs, developing content systems, recommendation engines, and early-stage products.

I research, write, and speak about practical uses of AI in public-interest tech, grounded in a background in comparative media studies (M.S., MIT) and interdisciplinary humanities (B.A., Yale).

What I Do

Build software—from rapid prototypes to production applications.
Lead teams of engineers, designers, product managers, and analysts.
Advise on AI strategy, product development, and organizational practice.
Facilitate workshops and hackathons; present at conferences.
Write about technology, AI, and public-interest tech.
Mentor emerging technologists and product leaders.

I’m open to contract engagements—speaking, writing, workshops, tool development, and advisory work at the intersection of AI and the civic/nonprofit space.
