Hi. I’m Shivan. I work on and care about privacy on the internet, and some of my work has appeared on Hacker News, Reddit, Verge, Cory Doctorow’s blog and others.

You can go to my blog here.

I currently live in San Francisco after spending a lot of time in Vancouver (I miss it), and am trying to find IRL connection and meaning in the city. This has mostly taken the form of running (I ran my first half-marathon this summer!) and hanging out with friends. SF is a beautiful city.

I lead the Privacy team at Brave browser. We add privacy features and do privacy reviews. When I find time, I represent the company externally at conferences and standards organizations. I recently published my first essay in a book on centralization in Internet privacy: Eaten by the Internet. More about my recent professional work here.

I write poetry but would like to post longer form pieces. I’m always trying to write more.

I’m Too Online, mostly on Twitter, and we play music as the ship goes down.
