Curtis Parfitt-Ford

Hi! I'm Curtis

I make stuff and ask questions

I wear many hats: software engineer, student paramedic, activist, tech policy wonk, and even a beanie in the winter. I work for Poteris, a non-profit tech-for-good consultancy.

I'm particularly interested in human-computer interaction and the policy surrounding it. Technology gives us a lot of power, but that poses huge dangers if it's not properly regulated.

I run Loudspeek, a digital lobbying system for UK political campaigns.

I'm an Emergency Ambulance Crew with St John Ambulance, and am studying for a pre-registration MSc in Paramedic Science.
