Hi there. I'm a social scientist, a data and measurement enthusiast, and a justice nerd. As an academic political scientist, I focused on measuring and understanding political violence, mostly in civil war. I learned a lot, but a singularly important lesson was: in this realm, good quantitative measurement requires deep qualitative knowledge (and no small amount of luck).

Since leaving academia in 2022 (to spend more time on research!), I've worked as a data scientist at Code for America and as a quantitative researcher at Meta. I also consult with organizations on quantitative research challenges big and small. I live in Philadelphia with my family.

Questions? Interested in my consulting services? Drop me a line. You can also find my reasonably-current résumé here, or my academic CV (slightly older), here.
