Luigi Montanez’s Summary
Fresh out of college I worked for Democracy for America, building DFA-Link, a social network of online tools for offline action that now has 40,000 members. I also rebuilt Blog for America, the community blog for DFA's grassroots network.
Escaping the Vermont winter, I moved down to Atlanta, working remotely for Alexandria, VA web consulting firm WebStrong. Clients included various U.S. Senate campaigns and national political organizations.
In early 2009, I moved to the Washington D.C. area, working at WebStrong for several months before moving on to the Sunlight Foundation.
