Background

About Jonathon Mooney

I manage fleet operations across 15+ states and vehicles at Lyft, where I’m leading our team’s adoption of AI tools to transform how we work — from automating reporting workflows to rethinking how we approach quality and compliance at scale.I’m also the founder of Mooney Tunes, a personalized children’s music company powered by generative AI. We create custom songs featuring each child’s name and interests in two categories: routine songs for daily activities and “parent-friendly bangers” in adult music genres that families genuinely enjoy together. We’re currently in pilot with early customers and exploring expansion into “Social Stories” — personalized musical narratives for children with special education needs.What connects my day job and my company: I’m drawn to the operational and ethical challenges of deploying AI responsibly in real-world environments. I think about questions like: How do you build consumer trust when AI is part of your product? What guardrails matter when AI-generated content is designed for children? How do you scale AI-powered services without losing quality or human accountability?I’m currently deepening my technical AI knowledge through Andrew Ng’s coursework and actively exploring opportunities in AI policy, trust & safety, and responsible technology — where I can bring an operator’s and founder’s perspective to the conversation.Background: BA in Sociology from UC Santa Barbara. 12+ years in operations leadership spanning fleet management, regulatory compliance, and business development.Let’s connect if you’re working on AI deployment, responsible tech, AI safety for kids, or the future of transportation.
