Nur Shlapobersky is a Business Process Specialist and urbanist in Austin with 10 years of experience blending systems engineering, urban planning, and community-centered placemaking. With a masters from Harvard GSD and a background in systems modeling from Olin, Nur translates complex simulations and software work into actionable public-facing mobility and placemaking programs. They have driven simulation and backend engineering at HASH—contributing multi-language initialization and neighbor-analysis functions to an open-source knowledge-graph project—while also leading process and stakeholder work at MITRE and city-focused technical assistance with Smart Growth America. Comfortable shifting between code, policy, and community engagement, Nur excels at turning quantitative models into equitable streets and mobility hubs. An atypical combination of hands-on backend contributions and program-level leadership means they both write the functions that power tools and design the processes that ensure those tools serve communities.
