De l'application pionnière à l'infrastructure d'État, mon engagement a toujours été de mettre la technologie au service de l'urgence climatique. Cette aventure dans la GreenTech a débuté en 2016 avec "SOS Mon climat", une application de sensibilisation élue parmi les 100 meilleures innovations mondiales et présentée à la semaine de la francophonie et m'a value une invitation au COP22.
Aujourd'hui, fort de cette conviction que la technologie est l'arme ultime contre le dérèglement climatique, je porte le projet ZAMBA. Convaincu que la souveraineté numérique est le nouveau pilier de l'indépendance des États, je consacre mon expertise à la création d'infrastructures de données critiques pour la préservation du Bassin du Congo.
Mon approche consiste à faire converger l'innovation technologique (Jumeaux Numériques, IoT, IA, Satellite) et les enjeux géopolitiques complexes de l'Afrique Centrale. À travers ZAMBA, je transforme des flux de données brutes en outils de gouvernance transparents et certifiés. Mon ambition est de bâtir un modèle où la maîtrise souveraine de la donnée permet de passer d'une écologie de constat à une écologie d'action, devenant ainsi le moteur de la finance verte et de la protection de la biodiversité.

Michelle Espinosa brings a distinctive voice shaped by her Mexican and Midwest heritage and neurodivergence. Her first film, Silence, screened for three years at Los Angeles Director’s Guild Theater, Los Feliz Theater, L.A. Film Forum, Laemmle’s Royal, and at the Foundation for Art Resources Benefit.

An AFI Directing Fellow with a Master of Science, Michelle was described as a “gifted, original talent” and featured at an AFI Lifetime Achievement red carpet event on CBS. Her 16MM short, Pinfeathers, received critical acclaim from the New York Times and Scarecrow Video, won at the Chicago International Film Festival, and decades later was selected to represent AFI’s catalog of shorts.

Michelle believes that being a volunteer is the practice of employing one's compassion for a higher purpose. Ms. Espinosa spent three days a month in prisons for fifteen years facilitating the Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) for incarcerated men. AVP is a process by which incarcerated men and women and community members learn communication, coping skills, and deeper self-awareness as alternatives to violence. For three years, Michelle was a volunteer responder and on-call manager for the Los Angeles City Mayor's Crisis Response Team. CRT is called to the scene of fatalities or multi-casualty incidents by L.A. Fire and Police Departments–to assist witnesses and families–until the Coroner leaves. While a practicing mediator and facilitator with the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office for twenty years, Michelle was invited to coach students at U.C.L.A. Law School and peer-to-peer mediators in L.A. middle schools. Michelle was recommended by Los Angeles Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, for the President's Volunteer Service Award and Bronze medal, which was awarded to her by President Barack Obama.

In addition to holding a master's in directing from AFI, Michelle holds a Bachelor of Science in digital filmmaking from the Los Angeles Film School.

Currently, Michelle is finishing her master's and working on her doctorate in Sustainability Education at Prescott College, the first PhD of its kind in the United States.

Androsky Lugo, from Eastchester, NY, is an architect with advanced academic training in architecture and sustainable design. He began his professional journey at the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a Bachelor of Business degree in 2000. While his undergraduate education provided a strong foundation in strategy, management, and operations, Lugo soon recognized that his long-term interests aligned more closely with architectural design and the built environment.

Motivated by this realization, Lugo transitioned to Cornell University to pursue a Master of Architecture degree. He graduated with distinction from the program in 2002, demonstrating exceptional proficiency in architectural theory, structural systems, and design execution. Following his graduate studies, Lugo earned additional professional designations in Building Science and Technology and Environmental Systems, expanding his technical understanding of building performance and construction methodologies.

In 2003, Lugo returned to Cornell University to further his education in environmentally conscious building and design, strengthening his expertise in sustainable architecture and ecological integration. This advanced training marked a turning point in his career, laying the foundation for his long-term focus on environmentally responsible design practices.

Professional Experience and Major Projects

Over the course of his two-decade career, Androsky Lugo has participated in numerous high-level architectural projects across commercial, public, and civic sectors. His work reflects a consistent balance between engineering discipline, environmental responsibility, and functional design.

In 2012, Lugo collaborated closely with the San Francisco Historic Buildings Committee, contributing to the planning and renovation of multiple public service spaces. These projects required careful coordination between historic preservation requirements and modern usability standards, reinforcing Lugo’s ability to deliver contemporary solutions within complex regulatory and cultural frameworks.

A major milestone in Lugo’s career occurred in 2015, when he was commissioned by The Hagman’s Group of New York City to design and construct a building composed entirely of sustainable and recycled materials—a first-of-its-kind achievement at the time. This project positioned Lugo as an early leader in large-scale sustainable construction and demonstrated the real-world viability of environmentally responsible architecture.

During his tenure at Parkins and Rhodon, Lugo served as lead designer for a full-scale shopping center, contributed to the design of a multi-story house of worship, and worked extensively with local urban development teams to deliver affordable housing initiatives. These projects highlighted his ability to manage complex stakeholder environments while delivering architecture aligned with both community needs and structural performance standards.

Focus on Sustainable Architectural Design

While architectural design has always been central to Lugo’s career, his primary professional focus over the past decade has been environmental protection through sustainable architecture. He is widely regarded as an influential figure in green design circles for his ability to integrate ecological considerations into functional, scalable building solutions.

Lugo’s approach emphasizes the protection of natural habitats and water systems, thoughtful material selection, and architectural designs that work with the surrounding environment rather than against it. His work has contributed to a growing appreciation within the industry for buildings that seamlessly blend structural integrity with environmental stewardship.

Philanthropy and Community Engagement

In addition to his professional work, Androsky Lugo regularly provides pro-bono architectural services to organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Homes for Veterans, and The Make It Right at Home Foundation. His commitment to community-focused architecture reflects a belief that design expertise should also serve broader social and humanitarian goals.

In 2015, Lugo founded the Architecture and Earth Awareness Foundation, an organization dedicated to educating architects, construction companies, and structural engineers on the importance of sustainable initiatives within the building industry. Since its inception, the foundation has helped promote environmentally responsible design principles across more than 400 large-scale projects worldwide.

Lugo is also deeply involved in climate protection efforts, frequently participating in fundraising events, awareness campaigns, and industry initiatives that support environmental sustainability.

Recognition and Industry Honors

Lugo’s philanthropic contributions and leadership in sustainable architecture have earned him widespread recognition. He has been named top contributor by the Homes for Veterans organization and received the Voice of Reason Award from the Green Initiative Climate Council, among numerous other honors.

In 2019, Lugo was nominated for the Pritzker Architecture Prize, one of the profession’s most prestigious recognitions. He was also nominated for the Architecture Master’s Prize in 2020 and went on to receive the Architectural Visionary Award in early 2021.

Professional Legacy

Through education, practice, philanthropy, and advocacy, Androsky Lugo has established himself as an architect whose work extends beyond individual projects. His career reflects a sustained commitment to architecture that is innovative, responsible, and aligned with the long-term health of both communities and the environment.
