Working on the Future

Hi, my name is Stephen! I am a legal technologist who is passionate about access to justice and privacy. As graduate of the University of Miami School of Law with a concentration in the Business of Innovation, Law & Technology, I’ve spent a great deal of time focusing on the responsible and ethical use of technology. Currently, I am the residential fellow at CodeX: The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics where I primarily focus on facial recognition use by government and law enforcement in the United States. This site is meant to display my work, projects, and interests. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to collaborate!
