I’m Brandon — hello! I’m a social entrepreneur, education advocate, and rising sophomore at Harvard University.

I am the director of product development at the data science company StratoDem Analytics. I also manage the Harvard Digital Lab for the Social Sciences; and I am on the leadership team for two nonprofits: the Project for Better Journalism, where I lead operations and serve as founder; and Sponsr.Us, a student initiatives platform where I serve as founding director.

At Harvard, I study statistics and government; do and facilitate social science research; and teach computer science. Many years ago, I also created the academic planner Schooltraq, which has risen in popularity. Born and raised in Houston, TX, I have spent the last six years in New England and graduated from Exeter in 2015.

About this website

This website was designed and developed in about 10 hours time in March of 2013. It draws inspiration, interestingly, from the GOV.UK website designs. In March of 2014 it was updated — the new exposition photograph on the home page is mine, taken in 2013, of the underpass by the Olympiastadion Berlin U-bahn station. In November of 2014 I redesigned the homepage to include my reading lists.
