Código y Bodegas

Written with co-author Bea Dellepiane, Código y Bodegas is the real story behind digitizing traditional retail across Latin America — the corner stores and family-run bodegas that keep the region's commerce running.

Architecting Resilient Safety Systems

Architecting Resilient Safety Systems

A practical look at building infrastructure for lone-worker and field-worker safety: real-time telemetry and systems designed for failure, recovery, and accountable escalation when a system cannot be allowed to fail silently.

A LinkedIn newsletter about deciding where AI belongs, where human judgment must remain central, and how operators can adopt technology without outsourcing responsibility.
