Civic Tech
I have contributed to civic tech projects by designing platforms that enhance public access to information and promote community engagement. Notable projects include the CityForward platform, which democratizes access to urban data for city officials, researchers, and citizens to support data-driven decision-making and community action. Additionally, I worked on the USDA FSIS website redesign to improve public health information dissemination and collaborated on the development of the OPENPediatrics platform to facilitate global sharing of pediatric care best practices, promoting knowledge sharing and improved healthcare outcomes.
