I'm a lifelong learner with a background in communications, marketing, and advertising. I can often be found contributing to open source projects, discovering bugs on a quest to always improve the software I work on, and publishing a blog to help others learn new technical concepts. Having lived in Ethiopia and Tanzania for 4 years, I'm eager to tackle systemic problems with a multidisciplinary, empathetic approach. I have strong analytical and problem solving skills and enjoy finding solutions to problems.  I'm passionate about blockchain, and emergent technology that creates innovative means of access and opportunity.
