About me

Currently in charge of the “datalabb” at a government agency under the Swedish finance department.

I have been working in Sweden since 2016, where I have led numerous projects in the fields of civic tech, transparency through open data, and citizen participation.

For 6 years, I co-directed Digidem Lab, a nonprofit citizen participation cooperative and a pioneering organization in orchestrating Sweden’s first citizens’ assembly and many other initiatives (participatory budgets…).

In parallel, I have worked to improve access to public interest data in Sweden, notably in areas like public procurement or lobbying in legislation-making. Through the Civic Tech Sweden network, I organised many civic tech meetups in 2018-2021.

This led me to become a civil servant in October 2023 to continue the fight from within.
