My perspective on political animals is different than most.

Since 1988, I have finished a degree in Computer Science at Yale, designed or programmed a variety of political technology products, and worked on a doctorate in American Politics at MIT.

I have also founded a growing partisan political software company www.ngpvan.com

I am a longtime participant in the intersection of American electoral politics and technology.

Through my company's wonderful clients, I have been lucky to have an insider's view of the operation of an astonishing number of key Democratic campaigns and their allied organizations.

It's a good place from which to form opinions about how to run a business, influence the development of technology in this niche, and join the zoo that is our politics.
