5.29 TechWalk

This week we are proud to welcome our TechWalk Ambassadors as our last but certainly not least, Co-Hosts for May. Our Ambassadors have provided invaluable support to the TechWalk community by attending weekly walks, helping to facilitate conversations, getting the word out via social media posts and facilitating important partnership connections. And this week, we get to celebrate them! They will be chatting about their experience as Ambassadors, so if you or someone you know would be a good fit for the program, please let them know.
Let’s meet our Co-Hosts:
Ruben Guardado, Equity Research, formerly with Evercore - I joined the TechWalk Ambassador Program to support my ambition to enter the field of venture capital, aiming to engage with transformational companies at the intersection of technology and societal progress. I’m fascinated by the rapid evolution of AI and generative AI technologies. TechWalk offers a unique platform to deepen my involvement in the tech community, expand my network, and directly engage with potential founders and tech innovators.
Vansh Bataviya, Incoming Software Engineer Intern, Capital One - “Hi! I'm Vansh Bataviya, a Computer Science student at Hunter College. Fueled by a passion for innovation and driven by a commitment to excellence, my journey in computer science has equipped me with a diverse skill set, and I'm eager to contribute my skills and creativity to the tech landscape.”
Stephanie Denis, Physical Therapist Assistant, formerly with Rehab Alternatives - A preview of what we'll discuss with her:
Therapeutic exercises and how technology is increasingly integrated into rehabilitation and healthcare
How innovative tech solutions can enhance patient care and improve outcomes
Women's health, particularly concerning marginalized groups and maternity
