Jack Klein is a construction superintendent and founder who blends a decade of software and systems design experience with hands-on environmental sensing to quantify hyperlocal subway microclimates across New York City. He built the original sensor platform behind NewYorkLab, turning granular heat and air-quality data into actionable assets for public agencies, insurers, and infrastructure investors. Previously a software engineer and solutions architect, he pairs data-first product thinking with field deployment know-how to drive climate resilience, worker safety, and public-health collaborations. Jack also leads NewYorkLab’s public engagement, translating technical research into social-first stories that have reached millions. Based in New York, he’s actively seeking partnerships to expand sensing deployments and integrate the dataset into weather intelligence and infrastructure decision-making. An uncommon mix of construction leadership, research-grade instrumentation, and viral science communication sets him apart.
