BIO
At 18, I taught myself to code while studying ethics, politics, and economics at Yale. Since then, I’ve averaged ~10k commits/year and worked at three YC startups. I wrote my 65-page senior thesis on open-source governance and digital platforms. I care deeply about data ownership, open-source, and interdisciplinary thinking. https://github.com/braden-w/ I build tools to help automate the boring parts of my writing. Hopefully, something good comes from it!
