now

This summer (2024), I'm participating in a 13-week "Neighborhood Accelerator" program through Cabin. My goal is to lay the groundwork to start a block association on W 75th Street on the Upper West Side in New York City. You can read more about why this is important to me, and why I believe hyper-local community is what the world needs the most right now.

I'm excited to step in as the Interim Program Director for Decoded Futures, a new initiative through the Tech:NYC Foundation that will help education & workforce development non-profits level up their AI know-how with help from NYC's tech sector. I'd love to learn how others are using AI to learn and work.

I recently joined the board as an independent director of Hiro, a developer tools company for people building on Bitcoin. I'm curious to learn more about the opportunity space for the Bitcoin blockchain to onramp more people into crypto-native applications and workflows.

It's summer in the city... and that means my rooftop garden is in full bloom. Between squashing spotted lantern flies and twice-daily waterings, I'm keeping a close eye on my literal "seed investments." This year's crop includes a dozen tomato plants, plus peppers, and cucumbers.
