Speaking.

I speak about building AI that ships: agentic systems, AI products, and how technology changes work. I have built AI products since 2004, starting with computer vision, and I teach entrepreneurship to roughly 400 graduate students a year at Cornell Tech. I deliver keynotes and workshops, including half-day and full-day executive sessions, in English and Portuguese.
