Daniel Thorp

I’m a fourth-year Software Engineering student at the University of Ottawa.

I’m drawn to the intersection of technology, law, and public policy, especially where better systems can produce better outcomes.

This site brings together what I’m building, what I’m writing, and what I’m working on right now.
