United Kingdom
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYun Chen is a product manager and civic technologist with 9 years of experience designing and scaling digital public goods across startups, NGOs and government contexts. She has led cross-border, community-driven projects—coordinating 200+ open source contributors and 10,000+ citizens for Disfactory—to turn grassroots reports into enforced policy changes and large enforcement budget increases. At g0v she co-founded and grew hacker communities and grant programs that translated social challenges into funded prototypes, while at UKGovCamp she established incident response protocols for sensitive public-sector events. Trained in User Experience Engineering (Goldsmiths) with a background in history, she blends human-centered research, data pipelines, and stakeholder mapping to ship civic products that survive in messy political environments. An active g0v participant, she’s comfortable operating at the intersection of community organizing, product strategy, and government workflows—often protecting contributors and designing for safety as much as impact.
