Makazi Mtingwa

As a Full-Stack Web Developer, I hold a Master’s from Harvard University Extension School in Information Technology with a concentration in Digital Media Arts & Sciences. I’ve developed web computing systems for many federal agencies including three institutes at the National Institutes of Health, Department of Labor, Department of Education, and Department of Health & Human Services.

My technology and government career has formed my opinion of establishment politics much as an engineer understands a server & database; from the backend as the inner workings of a complex system. I was a tech student at Harvard during the historic 2008 presidential election where I attended many town hall meetings & conferences and interned at City Hall in Newark, NJ during the Cory Booker administration. I have plenty of stories to share. A former loyal Democrat turned unaffiliated impartial third party, I’ve lived in many urban & suburban neighborhoods including Brooklyn, The Bronx, Chicago south-side, Atlanta, Prince George’s County - DC metro, Boston metro, and Chapel Hill, NC to name a few.
