Reproducible social data science — and the tools that make it reproducible.

I'm a social data analyst working at the intersection of data science, AI integration, and sociopolitical research. I build reproducible studies — open data, validated methods, robustness checks, honest limitations — on questions like how the press frames African elections, where internet shutdowns cost the most, and how violence and displacement move through a conflict. I also build the open-source tooling that makes that kind of analysis repeatable: graph-investigation workbenches and retrieval systems for reading social dynamics out of text.
