Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoey Zaza is a multidisciplinary technologist and artist based in Jersey City with 12 years of experience building software, data platforms, and creative installations. As a co-founder of the Museum of Wild and Newfangled Art and owner of Digital Zaza LLC, he blends product strategy, full-stack development, and visual practice to create platforms that pay and promote artists. His engineering background spans NLP and AI at nonprofit Speakable, a CKAN-based data catalog for Viacom, and systems engineering work supporting DoD contracts, reflecting fluency across Python, cloud data tools, and embedded/vision systems. Joey pairs advanced degrees in Industrial & Systems Engineering and an MBA with hands-on lean process improvements in pharma and manufacturing, which inform pragmatic, measurable product decisions. He’s driven by experiments at the intersection of art and technology—building an AI curator and archival platform for global artists—while still shipping apps and contracting on camera and communications systems. Outside work he cycles between coding, travel, and making interdisciplinary art, a mix that feeds both his creative vision and technical problem-solving.
