Silicon Valley veteran and Austin-based CTO building technology with heart while staying curious about life, love, and what makes us human. I combine strategic leadership with emotional intelligence to create AI that bridges consciousness with code, serving our highest human aspirations.
Silicon Valley veteran with 25 years building game-changing technology. Bitcoin pioneer since 2013, Burning Man artist, and heart-centered technologist based in Austin, TX. I create AI that bridges human consciousness with technological innovation.
My path began with significant challenges—growing up with an alcoholic father and navigating learning disabilities that made traditional education difficult. These early experiences taught me resilience and the importance of finding alternative approaches to success.
After discovering my passion for technology, I built a successful career in Silicon Valley, working with cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies. But something was missing—the human element that makes technology truly meaningful.
This realization led me to develop a heart-centered approach to technology, combining analytical rigor with emotional intelligence. Today, I'm dedicated to creating AI solutions that enhance human potential rather than replace it.
When I'm not coding or strategizing, you might find me exploring consciousness at Burning Man )'(, mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs, or diving deep into the latest AI research.
