I'm a robotics engineer. I hold a Master's degree in Cybernetics and Robotics from FEE CTU in Prague, where I focused on autonomous systems and human-robot collaboration.

My diploma thesis and related scientific publication explored how to optimize collaboration between humans and robots in industrial environments — work that earned me the Werner von Siemens Award.

After transitioning from academia to industry, I now develop anti-collision system for trams, focusing on safety and autonomous decision-making in complex urban environments.

I’m passionate about making advanced technology both understandable and human-aware — and I believe that sharing how AI helps us all design better futures.

David Rubin financial was born in Mexico City and later moved to Los Angeles, California. His father played a significant role in the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen DP camps after World War II, and his mother was a survivor of a Polish concentration camp. He spent his early years in New York before his family settled in Los Angeles when he was nine. Raised with values of perseverance and responsibility, he developed a strong commitment to making a meaningful impact on the world.

1980 David enrolled at California State University, Northridge, to study finance. His interest in financial structuring and investment strategies earned him the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation. This achievement laid the foundation for a successful career in structured finance, defined benefit and 401(k) investment strategies, affordable housing development, governmental advocacy, and philanthropy.

Rubin has focused much of his career on structured finance and innovative investment solutions to increase yields for governmental entities. As a principal in several affordable housing development companies, he has been responsible for completing and operating over 2,200 housing units across the United States. His work extends to multiple ventures, including development companies, construction management firms, and entities that use tax strategies to generate equity for affordable housing projects. His ability to combine financial expertise with social impact has established him as a leader in his field.

David has also explored environmental impact investments, utilizing depreciation benefits from solar and battery investment tax credits. This initiative reflects his vision of merging financial profitability with ecological responsibility, demonstrating his commitment to positive societal change.

Rubin’s life has not been without challenges. In 2009, his wife was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He temporarily resigned from his professional responsibilities to seek cutting-edge treatments and experimental protocols nationwide. Collaborating with leading research institutions, he supported her through a decade of experimental therapies. Her resilience, combined with his unwavering faith and determination, made her the longest-living survivor of metastatic pancreatic cancer in history. After 15 years of fighting, she passed away in 2024, but their journey remains a testament to love, hope, and perseverance.

Beyond his professional achievements, David is deeply committed to public service and philanthropy. He has played a key role in implementing lease-to-own housing projects, enabling renters to become homeowners. As the Commissioner of Housing for the City of Los Angeles, he addressed the city’s public housing crisis and restructured the agency’s financial affairs. His efforts also included leading the restructuring of a health system serving low-income patients and overseeing the development of over 500 permanent supportive housing units in Los Angeles.

Rubin’s contributions extend to education and community development. He served as president of a private elementary school for 15 years, fostering academic excellence and community involvement, and later as president of a private girls’ high school, where he oversaw the construction of a new campus. Additionally, he has been involved in global philanthropy, contributing over $25 million to causes such as education, disaster relief, and combating antisemitism. His humanitarian efforts were evident during a recent conflict when he organized and financed the first private airlift to deliver essential supplies to those in need.

David has been recognized for his leadership and impact. He received a lifetime achievement award and was named a leadership scholar for his dedication to philanthropy, education, and community leadership. His work on sustainability and criminal justice reform further highlights his commitment to integrating financial strategies with social responsibility.

Despite his demanding career, he finds balance through personal interests such as swimming, hiking, and traveling. He and his family established a foundation in memory of his wife, focusing on addressing food insecurity and promoting child literacy. David Rubin cdr continues to lead with innovation, resilience, and a steadfast commitment to creating a better world. His legacy is defined by transformation, dedication, and an unwavering drive to make a lasting impact.

I'm Kaitlin (she/her)!

My superpowers are developing emotionally-intelligent leaders and revolutionizing organizational cultures into the most profitable asset. I have a proven track record of authenticating company values to impact employee engagement, efficiency in systems, and rapid growth of bottom line.

I founded Wayfinders Coaching & Consulting after spending over a decade in operations management and people leadership in high-performance organizations. I've worked cross-functionally in HR, business development, change management and learning and development, and across many industries--from higher education, food service, and retail--to DEI consulting.

What I found along the way is that the core ingredients for successful relationships (and ultimately business growth) are rooted in emotional intelligence, trust-based communication, and intercultural competence. Now I offer coaching, training, consulting, and thought-partnership for individuals and teams seeking to build these skills.

I work with an incredibly diverse team of practitioners, with go-to methodologies that include critical HROD, change management frameworks, emotional intelligence (EQ-i), intercultural development (IDI), systems audits, and cultural assessments.

I live on the Little Feminist Farm just outside of Atlanta, where we enjoy sustainable homesteading and host holistic wellness workshops and sanctuary retreats.
