A Fresh Perspective. Passion for Improvement.

Too often, residents have to work too hard to be heard, understand what City Hall is doing, or get a clear answer about a local concern. I want to make participation easier and decisions more transparent for the people that City Council serves.

As a software engineer and a father, I have built my career and my life around solving practical problems, improving systems, and preparing for the future. I will bring that same discipline to City Hall, so our government works more effectively for residents and helps create a safer, more prosperous future for every child in our community.

Proven technology can make local government more accessible, responsive, and transparent. Secure, practical tools can help residents find information, share feedback, track requests, and receive timely updates—while keeping people, judgment, and accountability at the center of every decision.

I have lived in the Bay Area since 2008 and proudly called Union City home since 2021. I love the diversity, energy, and promise of our community—and I believe residents deserve a local government that listens, communicates clearly, and delivers results. I am running for City Council to bring practical problem-solving, an open door, and decisive action to City Hall. Together, we can close the distance between residents and their government and build a Union City that works better for everyone.

Here are practical ways to make City Hall easier to use, more responsive, and more accountable:

• a simple online dashboard that tracks city projects, spending, and service requests;
• smart tools that group recurring requests by neighborhood and topic, route them to the right city department, and publish status updates so concerns do not disappear into a backlog;
• multilingual, two-way communication notifications that keep residents informed about public meetings, emergencies, and issues affecting their neighborhoods;
• more frequent District Dialog meetings;
• clear follow-up timelines so residents know who is responsible and when to expect action;
• a multilingual resident-feedback portal, available by web and mobile, that makes it easy to submit ideas, report concerns, and support priorities raised by neighbors;
• public dashboards and short surveys that let residents see which ideas have the strongest community support, along with participatory budgeting tools that give people a direct voice in how designated city funds are spent.

These are achievable steps that can make City Hall easier to navigate, expand participation, and turn community feedback into measurable results.

This is bigger than adopting a few new tools. A tech-forward, people-first City Council would begin with residents’ needs, advance strong ideas based on clear evidence and community priorities, and give people fast, comprehensive ways to see how the Council is performing, what progress is being made, and where decisions stand. With easier access to results, proposals, and opportunities to participate, residents can contribute their ideas earlier, help shape how solutions are adopted, and have a stronger voice in the decisions that affect them. The goal is straightforward: greater transparency, more meaningful participation, quicker answers, and more problems solved for the people of Union City!
