I am a data scientist who is interested in using data to combat inequalities and promote better policy.
Below are links to my blog posts. Some will be about politics and/or data science, but many will relate to my other obsessions like music or comic books. I periodically update some of my posts, so please revist them if you haven't come to my site recently.

Support for Restructuring and Reforming Law Enforcement
Americans Support Police Reform and Those Who Are Aware of Systemic Racism Support Restructuring Law Enforcement. This is a piece I wrote on a survey project I designed, managed, and analyzed at YouGov. I wrote this months ago with some small edits right before it was published. Were I to rewrite it now, I may structured it differently and/or use different wording, but I believe it reveals some important trends in support for defunding the police in particular. I believe defunding the police is crucial for the future of this country.
