Foursquare

After Foursquare acquired Superlocal, I joined the team as Tech Lead for Product & Design while continuing to run Superlocal as a product within the Foursquare ecosystem.

Foursquare acquired Superlocal for its AI-powered place technology. I'm now helping design and build a conversational place search API that lets users find places using natural language. Queries like "find a romantic Italian restaurant in Chicago" or "cheap cafes near me with outdoor seating." The system uses AI to understand intent, match queries to Foursquare's massive places dataset, and return relevant, justified results.

The API combines semantic understanding with structured place data, supporting everything from simple category lookups to complex, multi-constraint queries. It's designed to power the next generation of location-aware AI experiences.

Day-to-day I work across product, design, and engineering, shaping the consumer experience and building the next generation of location intelligence products.
