Hi, my name is Pedro Silva.

I run 1D.works, a consultancy that offers fractional tech leadership to companies figuring out how to use AI effectively. We work best with businesses that see the potential in AI but don't have the in-house know-how to make it happen.

Our focus is on teaming up with founders and leadership to shape their tech strategy. We help sketch out long-term tech roadmaps, guide implementation, and basically act as a part-time CTO or CIO would.

1D ends up being the way I get to poke and pry at different topics and think through the implications of different technologies.


In the past, I founded Cerebel, a conversational search tech company. Eventually, we pivoted to Faer, applying the tech to sustainable fashion with an app. It gained some traction but wasn't enough to sustain the business. The source code for that is here.

I'm also involved in eekual, a fashion tech firm offering custom sneakers through an app. Customers measure their feet using smartphone photos, sneakers are designed digitally, and made locally in micro factories.

You may think I'm into fashion, but it's mostly accidental.


I travel a lot, think Bach is the GOAT, and can't stand indefinite pessimism.
