I grew up outside Detroit — a place built almost entirely around the car. The near-total absence of alternatives made the connection between transportation and daily life hard to ignore. That stuck with me, and eventually became a serious interest in how cities move people and what happens when they can't.
I spent thirteen years in software engineering, working across payments, financial services, and cloud infrastructure, and am now shifting focus to urban mobility.
I live in Lisbon, with five years as a Senior Software Engineer at Heroku (Salesforce) in New York now behind me.
I've just started the EIT Urban Mobility Master's Program (SUMT) — a two-year double degree, first at Técnico Lisboa here in Lisbon, then at UPC BarcelonaTech in Barcelona.
