“I love Ada’s Technical Books. Whenever I am hungry for stimulation, I can always find at least one book to take home that will make my mind explode with possibilities.” Stanton Stephens
Candace Faber is Seattle’s first-ever civic technology advocate, working with open data to improve government transparency and connecting tech innovation and entrepreneurship with underserved communities in Seattle.
Some of her projects include collaborating with the Ethics and Elections Commission to inform people about the democracy voucher program and using technology to help victims of domestic violence navigate the legal processes of getting out of an abusive situation. She’s sort of like a superhero, but instead of a cape, she’s armed with data sets that reveal how the city is operating, who it’s serving, and who it’s not.
