If elected, I’ll be the first Democrat in Albany with a degree in computer science or a career in government technology. This career has included working with the DOJ to solve violent crimes here in NYC, building cybersecurity technology to keep our government safe from foreign attacks, and delivering direct COVID-19 relief to over 50,000 families in four states.
I know what it takes for government to deliver results, not rhetoric.
As a community advocate, I’ve organized campaigns that have secured severance pay for workers, passed common-sense rent regulation, and reformed government procurement. I served as Democratic District Leader for the East Side of Manhattan. In this capacity, I wrote the code that integrated the Roosevelt Island Tram schedule to online maps.
My career has focused on improving government policies and technologies from the outside. I’m running for Assembly to fix a broken Albany from the inside.
I’m never giving up on New York, and neither should you.- A born-and-raised New Yorker, I’ll bring private sector know-how and public service values to fix Albany from the inside.
- As the grandson of an NYPD officer, I know that public safety comes first.
- I’ll fight to protect reproductive rights and gun laws in New York against Republicans’ dangerous agenda.
I’ll be the first Democrat in Albany with a degree in computer science.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
