Active Projects
Projects we're building.
Each project below is live. Hiring status reflects roles open today — for projects not hiring, you can still tell us you're interested and we'll follow up when something opens. One submission per person every 30 days.
Smart Pruebas Nacionales
Modernizing the Dominican Republic's national assessment system with agentic data tools and embedded RCTs.
Embedded inside the Ministry of Education, we are building the new Pruebas Nacionales platform — dashboards, AI-assisted insights, RCT infrastructure, and digital integration that connects ministries, schools, and families across the country.
Open roles
Mi Abogado AI
Data pipelines and AI tooling for Chile's legal defense program for children in state care.
Mi Abogado provides specialized legal defense to children and adolescents under state protection. We are building the case-tracking tools, data pipelines, and AI-assisted workflows that public defenders, social workers, and program managers use day to day.
Smart School Choice and Empirical Market Design
Frontier research and live policy systems for how families choose schools.
Mechanism design, information interventions, and AI agents deployed across school-choice systems in Latin America and the U.S. — combining frontier academic research with real production systems used by ministries.
Open roles
Decidiendo un Futuro Mejor — Dynamic Complementarities of Information Provision and Human Capital Investment
Admissions design, returns to selective institutions, and intergenerational mobility.
With Yale and Universidad de los Andes, we use administrative data on admissions, peers, and labor markets to study how the structure of higher education shapes opportunity and the distribution of top incomes.
CienPies
AI-coordinated walking routes to school, built from real family demand.
CienPies clusters nearby families into a single supervised walk to school, lets parents pick lead and backup days, and uses AI to keep reminders, coverage, and school readiness aligned every morning. Pilot underway in Santiago with Red Educacional Camilo Henríquez (RECH), starting at Colegio Salvador Dalí.
LUCI — Mapping Childcare Deserts
Block-by-block maps of childcare supply across Latin American cities.
LUCI maps where early-childhood coverage falls short — block by block — across Santiago, Bogotá, and Santo Domingo, so cities, researchers, and journalists can see and close the gap. Over 7,500 centers analyzed and verified in the field.
