Robert Gilliam Receives Rise and Shine Award

Community Leadership

When our local farmers market faced permanent closure in 2020 during the pandemic, I led the volunteer effort to establish a new 501(c)(3) organization to preserve this community tradition and expand public benefit and charitable programs. Thanks to a dedicated, vibrant community, Carnation Farmers Market is experiencing the highest attendance and vendor sales in its 20 year history. In 2023 I received Empower Youth Network's Rise and Shine Award for Outstanding Community Volunteerism for this inititative.

Philanthrobots

As founder and board president of Carnation Farmers Market, I've used technology to boost fundraising and public engagement, including writing a mobile web app for the market's Kids Club, and AI-based software for managing communications with sponsors. Recognizing that these tools could help other organizations, I founded AI tech startup Philanthrobots LLC to amplify the impact of non-profits and charities.

Wonderful Day

Making and listening to music are lifelong passions of mine. Here are a few electronic music tracks I recently created.

About the process ▶

Using Audacity for editing, mixing, and mastering, I mashed up content generated by Udio from my original lyrics and custom prompts, with organically recorded music and sounds, to create these tracks.
