About

I'm Wes De Silvestro—currently a senior at Harvard College studying Government.

I'm interested in the intersection of progress, technology, and politics. I think a lot about how the latter two can be applied to the former and also what other tools are missing. I started this blog as a way to further explore these topics and help me figure things out.

Currently, my focus is on improving governance, starting from the bottom up.

In the past, I've:

Cofounded a climate tech startup (YC W20)
Worked as a political data scientist
Deployed civic tech for the City of Boston
Founded a PAC in Florida
Taught CS50
