I'm a research fellow at the Institute for Media and Communication, University in Oslo and visiting fellow at the Beeck Center for Social Innovation and Policy Impact at Georgetown University. I study technology and participation in government .

I've also got bones to pick when it comes to impact metrics and responsible data.

I blog(ged) about civic tech research, at https://methodicalsnark.org.

Previously I supported civil society governance assessments and data strategies in the UNDP, and co-founded the engine room, where I led research, responsible data, and methods.

I also hang out with kids a lot, climb a mean tree, perform the occasional wedding, play burlesque bass, cultivate an Islay collection, and croon. On a good day.
