An open-source election system for San Francisco

From November 2018 to October 2019 I worked for the City and County of San Francisco in its Department of Technology.

I was hired to get the Elections Commission's multi-year open-source election system project moving.

My work:

  • Managing the Elections Commission's requirements while delivering an open-source election system design for the Open Source Voting System Project.
  • Researching the business case and the solution architecture for election engineering.
  • A detailed competitive analysis of public and private election systems.
  • Strategic alignment with Microsoft and with the Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk.
  • Building the case for the city government to develop and use open-source products, and producing a detailed architecture design.
