25		-I'm a web developer and community organizer with a penchant for armchair philosophy. I come from a privileged background, though I never could afford college, I scrapped (and failed) as a freelancer and startup-er for 11 years, and, as a short queer neuroatypical human, I have my own way of relating to the less privileged. I am most passionate about the commons, the fourth estate, and human rights and I think the open ethos can make waves in all of those spaces.

29	29	My defining trait, I think, is the breadth of my experience and my ability to bridge gaps with communication. My varied experience allows me to code switch as I speak with engineers and businesspeople as well as legal and financial types. This, combined with my experience as a community organizer, makes me a very effective change agent.
