A civic platform for reporting problems across Culiacán.
A digital campaign experience that encouraged citizens to report issues in their city.
Urbania was a civic technology initiative created around a political campaign in Culiacán. Its goal was to give citizens a digital channel to report problems and issues affecting their city. I worked on the web and mobile experiences, combining web technologies, Android and social platform integrations to turn citizen participation into an interactive digital experience.

Technology for Citizen Participation
The core idea behind Urbania was simple: give citizens a way to report the problems they encountered in their city. I worked on the web and mobile experiences that supported this concept, using jQuery, PHP and Android to build the digital tools. The project was an early example in my career of using software not only to automate business processes, but to connect people with real-world problems in their community.
