About Me
Who am I?
I research how digital infrastructures, from ride-hailing platforms to generative AI, reshape governance by redistributing authority, mediating knowledge, and changing how decisions get made.
As Lecturer at the Transdisciplinary School (University of Technology Sydney, Australia) and Chair of the TD School AI Working Group, I study how these systems transform power dynamics across government agencies, workplaces, and urban contexts. I'm particularly interested in governance arrangements that emerge from the bottom up — how communities create autonomous coordination structures when formal regulation is weak, contested, or absent.
My earlier work on platform communities in Latin America documented what I call "creole platforms" — hybrid sociotechnical forms through which workers achieve autonomy under contested conditions. I now extend this infrastructure lens to AI systems, examining how large language models participate in organisational decision-making and institutional accountability.
Methodologically, I'm developing "temporal-contextual probing" approaches for studying how AI systems navigate context-dependent decisions over time. I'm interested in bridging academic research with policy and practitioner communities working on platform and AI governance.
A bit more
I speak Spanish (native), English, French, Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese and Papiamento — a multilingual background that shapes my approach to cross-cultural governance questions and keeps me attentive to how concepts travel (or fail to travel) across contexts.
I hold a PhD from the University of Technology Sydney, where I studied platform governance and sociotechnical systems in urban settings. Before that, I completed a Master of Architecture from the University of Belgrano and an MSc in Urban Economics from Torcuato di Tella University, both in Buenos Aires. I also worked in policy roles with Argentina's Ministry of Transportation and Ministry of Modernisation — experience that grounds my research in how institutions actually function.
My trajectory — architecture → urban economics → platform and AI governance — reflects a sustained interest in how humans build systems for organising collective life, and how those systems redistribute power in ways their designers don't always anticipate.
I think in terms of infrastructures: physical, economic, and digital.
