A data-driven project analyzing gender parity in Venezuela’s 2025 National Assembly, regional, and municipal elections. Includes code, datasets, and tools for transparency and research.

Analysis of the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests through Epistemic Clientelism Theory, showing how scaffold collapse produced epistemic capture and democratic lessons.

Applied case study extending Peter Kahl’s Authoritarianism and the Architecture of Obedience.
