Before co-founding OpenGov, I served as Advisor to U.S. Army General H.R. McMaster on the Combined Joint Interagency Task Force - Shafafiyat (Transparency), an Anticorruption task force at the International Security Assistance Forces headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan. I previously practiced trial litigation at Keker & Van Nest in San Francisco, where I represented Silicon Valley and Fortune 500 clients in contract, trade secret, white-collar criminal, and patent matters. I was a law clerk to the Honorable Sandra S. Ikuta on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and a Fulbright Fellow in Mexico, where I studied transparency through the lens of Mexico's Freedom of Information Act. I hold a J.D. from the Yale Law School, an M.P.A. from the Harvard Kennedy School, and a B.A. from the University of Maryland.
