Christian Cmehil-warn is a data-and-technology coordinator and MIT dual master’s student (EECS & Technology and Policy) with nine years of experience applying technical rigor to policy, labor, and manufacturing questions. He blends hands-on engineering—contributing backend and QA work to CHAOSS/Augur’s open-source metrics for OSS health—with policy analysis at NTIA and research on digital manufacturing adoption at MIT. His background at the Bureau of Labor Statistics and in economics/statistics gives him rare fluency in producing reproducible analytics, publication-ready outputs, and interpretable productivity measurements. Christian’s work centers on critical questions about how AI, quantification, and financialization reshape labor and institutions, pairing technical implementations with thoughtful sociopolitical critique. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex methodology into accessible tools and reports that inform both advocacy and policy.
