I’m a journalist and web producer based just outside Baltimore. My work focuses on religion, underrepresented communities, tech and the intersections therein. Often that means covering Muslim America and cool startups.
These days I work as social media editor at the Religion News Service, where I also contribute some freelance reporting on Muslim issues. You may have seen my reporting at ThinkProgress, Technical.ly and other places on the web, too.
My reporting has been published in The Washington Post, USA Today, ThinkProgress, American Journalism Review, Sojourners and other outlets. And hey, editors – I'm always interested in expanding my portfolio of writing on digital culture, cybersecurity, press freedom, mass and targeted surveillance, civic tech and activism, South Asian culture, Muslim American issues, and Islamic sectarianism.
Sometimes I create web and print design projects: social videos, data visualization, indie book covers, website maintainence and branding for freelance clients. And, although I'm a terribly novice coder, I'm interested in projects involving interactive storytelling with HTML5/CSS3 and web scraping with Python.
