Summary
Oren Robinson is a program coordinator and experienced technologist with 13 years building web platforms, community tools, and movement-tech resources for nonprofits, co-ops, and grassroots campaigns. Trained in computer science and fluent in Java, JavaScript, PHP and web frameworks like Drupal/Backdrop and Svelte/Node, they blend hands-on development with facilitation, writing, and data analysis to support collective care and systems change. Oren has led web and communications projects at organizations ranging from Harvard and GoFundMe to community groups in Beijing, and currently coordinates fundraising, outreach, and board operations at Project YANO while consulting as a design-justice facilitator. Their work is informed by lived engagement with anti-oppression practice—designing tools that explicitly address violence and support mutual aid rather than assuming neutrality. Based in San Diego, they pair technical depth with on-the-ground organizing experience, often training volunteers and shaping participatory processes that scale community-led technology.
