I'm an urban planner, technologist and artist working to advance ethics and inclusion in smart cities.  I believe people should be at the center of smart cities, and my work focuses on creating greater public oversight over smart city technologies and the data that powers them.

Currently I am Smart City Administrator at the Office of Innovation at the City of San Antonio. My job is to manage a small team to coordinate projects that use technology to deliver public services while keeping an eye on transparency, security, equity and accessibility for everyone.

Previously, I've worked on smart city projects in government and academic settings both domestically and internationally for groups like City Form Labs in Singapore, and the Massachusetts Office of Information Technology Digital Services department. Locally, I was Data Director for the digitally native non-profit newsroom, the San Antonio Report.

​

Formerly I served on San Antonio’s Digital Inclusion Alliance (DIASA), which strives to bring digital equity and affordable internet access to all citizens of our community. Currently I serve on the Alamo Regional Data Alliance.
