Real-time AI inference at the edge.
Distributed systems that scale.
Frameworks that ask whether technology actually serves people.
PolarGrid — North America's first real-time AI inference compute network, purpose-built for voice agents and agentic AI workloads. Sub-30ms latency. Edge-first architecture. Bare metal Kubernetes, Triton Inference Server, and a full voice pipeline (Whisper → LLM → Kokoro) running on Blackwell GPUs at colo in Vancouver and Toronto.
Economy of Wisdom Foundation — A research and community organization developing new frameworks for post-productivity economies. The core question: Does a system increase or decrease fulfillment for the people it touches?
Past 5 Solutions — Founder. Data storytelling and technology strategy consulting.
- Scaled distributed data services 100× at Mastercard while cutting cloud costs 75% — architected pipelines that unlocked multimillion-dollar opportunities
- Built PolarGrid's full infrastructure stack from scratch: two-tier Kubernetes, GPU passthrough, MetalLB, bare metal Supermicro
- Mentored four AI startups through Scale AI's Zen Launchpad Cohort 2
- Published Transmutarianism (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18809258) — a moral accounting framework for measuring deprivation and fulfillment flows through agent networks:
M = τF + A - Developed PITC (Physical-Information Theory of Consciousness), distinguishing crystallized intelligence from fluid consciousness in AI-integrated substrates

I've spent years asking whether the systems we build actually serve people: as a measurable, falsifiable question. Transmutarianism is my attempt to formalize that: a framework for tracking whether agents (human or artificial) are net producers of fulfillment or deprivation across the networks they touch.
I believe compute infrastructure is a question of cognitive sovereignty. Who controls the inference layer shapes who benefits from AI.

The real measure of any system is whether it transforms deprivation into fulfillment for the people and communities it serves.
