Hi! I'm Aharon, welcome to my website, it's a pleasure to have you.

Until recently, I was a Research Principal on the 'Finance Insights Team' in Gartner's Corporate Finance Practice, focused on emerging developments in AI and what they mean for finance strategy.

For the curious, I wrote or co-wrote:

• AI Susceptibility in Finance
• A Guide to AI Agent Governance for Finance
• Finance 2030: The Future of Finance Technology
• Finance 2030: The Future of Finance Work (co-author)
• Predicts 2026: AI in Finance (co-author)
• Leadership Vision: Corporate Controller
• & more!

Outside of research, I built tools to help with research & analysis:

• Built the Finance Practice's central content analytics dashboard to replace an Excel-based process I hated with my entire soul
• Developed automations and mini web-apps for operational processes (scrapers, scripts, dashboards, etc!)
• Experimented with & shared GenAI and LLM uses for research, e.g. lit, client voice, hypothesis review, drafting, revision, feedback, etc

I am also the official "data" guy and increasingly-official "AI" guy for Everyday Canvassing, a community engagement non-profit in Montgomery County, Maryland.

That's meant lots of GIS, text mining, data visualization, pipeline management, and AI-development. Check 'projects' for examples, I'm currently working on:

• OpenCanvass: An open-source CRM for canvassing and community engagement. The gameplan is to fully replace miniVAN/Votebuilder for all our canvassing needs. Prototyping!
• Housing Code Violation Project: Under wraps for a bit longer, but my portion analyzes patterns in housing code violations for big apartments in Montgomery County using public data.
• Abundance & Affordability Research: This one's just for fun, mainly lit reviews & data viz re: policies that help get good places built. [I am transparently biased: involuntary, unnecessary administrative burdens burden my soul and I hope to eradicate them from this earth, and from permitting!]
