With 11:11 Philosopher’s Group (“1111”), I aim to build a public charity in the BRAC model. I work with domain experts to rapidly scale social impact ventures.
By building bold ideas today, we can create a sustainable cycle of innovation that benefits communities in the long term.
My first project was Equalify, an Open Source web accessibility platform. The project is now part of the University of Illinois Chicago (more info).
With 1111, I’ve also launched NOAI, a festival to push innovation in New Orleans, a great city with a decreasing population. That festival is on track to reach sustainability by 2026.
My next venture is AI Leaders, an Open Source GenAI learning platform. I am working with great partners from LSU, Tulane, WordPress, the Louisiana State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE), and many others.
I will be announcing more on AI Leaders soon, and I invite you to contact me for more information.
My superpower is bringing together people to create change. I’m always looking for new collaborators.
