About

👋 Hellooooo! 

I’m Morisa, the founder of Bits as Bridges.

After getting my master's degree in engineering at Stevens, my career has taken me everywhere from the e-commerce space at Daily Harvest to managing entire engineering teams at Shopify.

For any techy folks reading this: I’m also a backend engineer with a love of Python and I believe local, small language models are the future 😉

You can find me doing coursework for a college class on human services (gripping my second espresso), doing random household chores for my nonna, and volunteering for my community in Princeton, NJ.

What is Bits & Bridges?

Bits & Bridges is an effort to apply human centered AI to fill in gaps in your nonprofit mission. Speeding up the work that slows you down or bridging barriers preventing you from reaching new communities. 

Your community work is important, and my goal is to connect your ideas to the practical applications around AI so you can better serve the communities that you center.

Technology is meant to help serve your mission, not overshadow it.
