Sova's latest interest is building tools, education, and a legal network, to help people living proudly with neuro-diversity or in protected classes to stand up for their rights and fight back against discrimination and retaliation in the workplace. Sova will give a 5-minute lightning talk about inJESTER, a searchable, auditable, and chain-of-custody evidentiary timeline management tool. inJESTER allows anyone to provide a detailed history or all employment events and the evidence connected to them to regulatory agencies and law firms to support their discrimination, retaliation, or whistleblower cases.
