Engineer & Political Economist

I research and visualize the political economy of the Horn of Africa—how states form, borders shift, and power flows.

I'm the founder of GraspWell, where I build interactive maps and visual essays to bring clarity to a complex region.

Before this, I worked as a software engineer building data infrastructure and web applications. I studied Computer Science and have spent years combining engineering with long-form research.

Focus

  • • Political economy & state formation
  • • Spatial history & borders
  • • Data visualization & interactive media
