Hello! I'm John, a software engineer, technical generalist, and writer.
At the Freedom of the Press Foundation I am the engineering manager of the SecureDrop team; we help whistleblowers communicate anonymously with journalists. Previously I worked for the US government as a consulting engineer and project leader at 18F, where we made government websites work better for the public. I have also been manager of software engineering at Unite Us, a software developer at Cornell University Library, and a startup cofounder. I care about transparency: open source, open data, and open knowledge.
