I am a media theorist and policy researcher with a PhD in Cultural Studies from Goldsmiths, University of London, where I remain affiliated as a Graduate School Fellow. I am also a researcher at the Autonomy Institute, a progressive think tank working on the future of work, progressive technology and public futures.

As an academic, my work falls mainly in the fields of software studies and media resarch, with a particular interest in networked communication technologies. My PhD posed an interdisciplinary investigation of two pivotal information processes – compression and encryption – as material meeting points of technical, cultural, political and economic domains.

In the field of public policy, I research and develop proposals for the future of work, universal basic services (UBS) and the platform economy.
