I'm a technology executive, live broadcast producer, motion graphics director and full-stack developer based in Los Angeles. My career spans decades across financial and government backend software development, live television, motion direction in Cinema 4D and After Effects, web architecture and telecom engineering. I've appeared on CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN and CNBC as a technology expert, produced over 1,000 live news press conferences, 150+ podcast episodes and 300+ radio spots, and directed dozens of commercial shoots. I've produced separate live concerts with Jackson Browne and with Tom Morello, directed commercials with Jane Fonda, and worked with Bernie Sanders more times than I've bothered to count. I'm CTO of Consumer Watchdog, whose platform I built and still run alone.

TL;DR at the top of the long version too: technology executive, live broadcast television producer, motion graphics director and full-stack developer, based in Los Angeles. I've appeared on CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, CNBC and networks worldwide as a technology expert, with decades of on-camera and behind-the-scenes experience across financial, government and nonprofit sectors.
As Chief Technology Officer of Consumer Watchdog I built and still run ConsumerWatchdog.org end to end — front end, back end, email platform, telecom, broadcast integration, donor CRM and archive tooling — alongside OilWatchdog.org, InsideGoogle.com, NewsomWellWatch.com, PatientsForFairness.org and BrownVTrumpOilMap.com.[^1] I've produced over 1,000 live news press conferences, 150+ podcast episodes and 300+ radio spots, and directed dozens of commercial shoots along the way.
I produce the annual Rage for Justice Awards, one evening that's somehow a live concert, a televised awards ceremony and a political gala at the same time, and I've produced separate concerts with Jackson Browne and with Tom Morello. I've directed commercials with Jane Fonda and worked with Bernie Sanders on more occasions than fit neatly in a bio. My documentary camera and direction work includes Save the Children, The Anne Frank Foundation, LINK and Make Her Beautiful.
Outside advocacy I'm the creator of Lacunari, coordination infrastructure for distributed work; News Never Sleeps, a real-time global data platform; and Sense Arcade. My first book, A Field Guide for Nonprofit IT, is forthcoming — chapters in progress, no release date I'd stake anything on yet.
[^1]: Yes, that's six platforms. No, I did not template them from one another as much as you'd think.
