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 moved to San Francisco from Vancouver (I miss it), and am trying to find IRL connection and meaning in the city. SF is a beautiful city.

I lead and manage 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 contributed an essay on centralization in Internet privacy in a book published by Meatspace Press: 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.
