[edit] Gavin Weld White
The name means, approximately, "Wild Warrior of Light" or "Wild White Knight", or more literally "Wild White Hawk". Anagrams include "Wild Heaven Twig" and "Wild White Vegan". (The latter is no longer an appropriate appellation, as he has stopped being vegan after four and a half years.)
Also known affectionately as the Wanderer, Gavin makes his home in Portland, Oregon. He graduated from Reed College in 2002 with a degree in Mathematics.
Gavin's undergraduate thesis, titled "Secure and Verifiable Election Systems", describes a cryptographic protocol for an instant runoff Borda count election system in which anyone can prove that the tally is valid (that the votes counted were exactly the votes cast), but no voter can prove how he or she voted.
Gavin is a grassroots organizer and organizational consultant with a penchant for partisan politican participation.
Gavin is Chair of the Multnomah County Democratic Party, which is dedicated to making people's lives better.
