For the last eight years, I have been a systems engineer for Contra Costa County, CA. I have worked with a dozen departments fixing and modernizing their systems and processes to make local government more effective at serving the community. I am also a political candidate for Clerk-Recorder in Contra Costa County. I decided to run for office so I can take my current work to the next level and help shape the future of my county, with a pragmatic focus on technology, security, and community engagement.
