Audrey M. Roy Greenfeld

Co-Founder & Executive Director

Audrey created Cookiecutter (200 million downloads), co-founded PyLadies, and co-organized the first PyCon Philippines in 2012. She co-authored "Two Scoops of Django" with Daniel, helping over a million developers write better code.

She's Filipino-American, and WorldImpact.AI is partly a homecoming. Growing up between her Filipino mother's family and American life, she always felt more at home in the Philippines than in LA. Moving to Manila wasn't about discovering something new. It was about finally building where she belongs.

An MIT graduate in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with a background in competitive robotics, analog/digital systems, and FPGA programming. She worked at Answer.AI, Jeremy Howard's AI research lab, and received the 2018 Frank Willison Memorial Award from the Python Software Foundation. Beyond engineering, she's a professional artist whose work has appeared in Wired, CNN, and The New York Times.

She leads WorldImpact.AI's research direction and is building Air, giving developers from Mindanao to San Francisco equal leverage.

Daniel Roy Greenfeld

Co-Founder & CTO

Daniel co-authored the Two Scoops of Django series and has contributed to hundreds of open-source packages. He maintained cookiecutter-django for years and has held engineering roles at NASA, Kraken Technologies, and Answer.AI (Jeremy Howard's AI research lab).

He received the 2018 Frank Willison Memorial Award from the Python Software Foundation alongside Audrey for contributions to Python through speaking, teaching, and writing.

He leads WorldImpact.AI's technical implementation, building Air and proving that open source can be sustainable without burning out the people who build it.
