Hello! I’m Raza Panjwani, a recovering attorney and lover of odd trivia, and this is my personal website. You can also find me on LinkedIn, occasionally on Bluesky, and on rare occasion on Mastodon. I am no longer active on Twitter.

An illustrative sampling of hats I’ve worn professionally:

• Connectivity policy, i.e. ensuring universal (and affordable) access to a free and open internet, at New America‘s Open Technology Institute
• Policy for the hardware design, development and manufacturing divisions of Reality Labs;
• Regulatory strategy at Tidepool, a non-profit developing open source software (like Tidepool Loop!) to improve the lives of people with diabetes;
• Public policy at Scotty Labs (acquired by DoorDash), an autonomous vehicle start-up in San Francisco;
• Policy Counsel at Public Knowledge, a Washington, DC-based public interest organization advocating for consumer rights in tech.

I like to take photos, tinker with my personal technology (including smart home automation), and before I went to law school, I studied architecture and history. I support the oxford comma, outlaw hacker pancreases, and the New York Mets (sigh).

You can find some things I’ve written and said here, and some things I’ve done or am doing on the Projects page.
