Hello, and welcome to my website. I am a graduate student in international affairs and a university teaching assistant. My research interests include the use of technology by authoritarian states to subvert the liberal international order, comparative authoritarianism, comparative democratization, and democratic backsliding. I previously worked in the technology sector for 16 years, with my most recent position being senior manager for quality engineering at a software company. Before beginning my career, I served on active duty in the United States Army.
