I'm an engineer, community builder, and robotics nerd based in Brooklyn. I'm the Director of Engineering at WGSN, where I build AI chatbot technology that forecasts trends across fashion, beauty, consumer tech, and more. Here's what has my attention right now.
Figuring out what comes next
I've been in my current role for five or six years, and I'm at a turning point. I'm ready to try something different, whether that means starting something of my own or joining someone else building something I believe in. It's uncertain and exciting at the same time, and right now a lot of my energy goes into figuring out what that next thing is.
Building AI at the intersection of design
At WGSN, I build AI chatbot technology that forecasts trends in fashion, beauty, interior design, consumer tech, sports, and outdoor markets. The work lives at the intersection of AI and design, and it's about helping product teams around the world make decisions about what's coming next. Staying close to where AI is genuinely useful is the part of the job I keep coming back to.
Bringing people together again
I moved back to New York about a year ago, and I'm getting back into hosting: storytelling nights, improv, dinners, dance parties. I'm most alive when I'm bringing people together. I also keep coaching public speakers to find their authentic voice, a skill I built hosting events and TEDxChelseaPark over the years, and one I want to keep doing.
On the lighter side
When I'm not building or hosting, I'm usually chasing natural ways to live a little better: my Oura ring, cold exposure, red light therapy, and a lot of coffee and meditation. I've been to more than 50 countries and stay curious about how different places solve the same problems. Brooklyn is home now, though Mexico City still feels like my soul city.
