• Ate a lot.
• Touristed around Tbilisi.
• Took off to the mountains of Rachuli for a weekend of walking, chilling and.. surprise.. eating.

For the last year I have been honoured to be part of the OCCRP Data Team, working with and for amazing tecchies and journalists, wrangling data I'd never dreamed of and learning things about the world I never expected. I'm loathe to leave

but

change beckons

and this month I'm excited to be joining the fully-remote data-wrangling-for-good workers cooperative Open Data Services.

I'm honestly astounded I keep finding great jobs in tech that support my idealistic world view, let me make a living working for positive change, with people who share my ethical stances, whilst travelling the world. I know I'm astonishingly privileged to be able to be so picky about the kind of jobs I take in the first place. It's mindblowing that I have been consistently in work for the past few years despite this.

• Went to Citizen Beta's civic tech meetup.
