Summary
👤
SeniorBill Fitzgerald is a founder, educator, and technologist with 12 years of experience designing learner-centered products, researching privacy and misinformation, and guiding cross-functional teams from classroom curriculum to data architecture. He has led privacy evaluation initiatives at Common Sense Media, conducted disinformation analysis, and served as a privacy researcher and product manager, blending hands-on technical work with stakeholder engagement and training. Bill’s work emphasizes practical sustainability—asking how projects will be staffed and maintained—and he frequently applies open-source tools and openly licensed content to maximize reuse. Based in Portland, he pairs curiosity for security details (yes, he reads privacy policies and runs apps through intercepting proxies) with a talent for turning complex policy and technical issues into usable experiences for educators and organizations.
