tl;dr: i'm on the academic job market; say hi at #CSCW2025!
i'm a distinguished postdoc fellow at northeastern studying how tech's deep entanglements into society have caused concrete harms to people and changed what privacy fundamentally means (is it dead? is it recoverable? how? 😨)

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.
i'll be hosting a SIG with some familiar faces on wednesday @ 11 in troldtog: "Alternative Technology Consumption Under Capitalism"
if you have interests in resistance, refusal, repair, and post-growth in technology design, we'd love to see you there 👯

a lovely day to vote for @wutrain.bsky.social, a normal human fellow resident of boston, over a billionaire nepobaby cartoon villain 😌🖕
a great time today with our SIG attendees, who sketched out some lovely, hopeful alternative tech futures 🔮 #cscw2025
many thanks to co-organizers beatriz palacios abad, vishāl sharma, @hanlinliii.bsky.social, and @alexandrato.bsky.social; excited for the future of this community!
in storyboard-scaffolded discussions, we found striking mismatches in how homeless individuals and service providers considered security and privacy in their interactions with each other
see our preprint for more on how our participants envisioned concrete ways for aligning these views ⬆️
new paper incoming at USENIX Security 2025 📬
"Navigating Security and Privacy Threats in Homeless Service Provision"
really grateful to have worked with @hongshen.bsky.social, Fei Fang, and a team of amazing undergrads and community collaborators on this project
