Technology and Consciousness: The Integration
Fractional CTO across four AI companies. Ordained Zen priest. 25 years building production systems — hedge funds, government, startups. Currently pursuing a PhD in Metaphysics.
The background is unusual: meditation from age 4 (Tibetan father, Zen mother), coding from age 8. The combination isn't decorative — it's what makes the work land differently.
Writing & Thinking
Consciousness, non-dual philosophy, and what happens when you take inner work as seriously as the technical work.

"The true innovation in technology comes not from separating human and machine intelligence, but from recognizing them as complementary expressions of the same universal pattern."
How It Works Together
The Zen training isn't separate from the technology work — it's the foundation. Clarity under pressure, precision without rigidity, decisions from stillness rather than reactivity. That's what makes the difference when you're building AI systems at scale or navigating complexity that doesn't have a playbook.
