Transform How You Work With AI
I leverage AI to multiply productivity, automate workflows, and build intelligent systems that work in service of life.
AI Is Everywhere.
Results Are Rare.
Drowning in Admin
42% of executives say admin tasks block their most important work.
AI-Curious, AI-Stuck
Only 32% of leaders feel confident they have skills to implement AI.
Fragmented Tools
Workers spend 60% of time coordinating, only 13% on strategy.
No Time to Optimize
The people who most need AI are too busy to figure it out.
Technology in Service of Life
AI transformation isn't just about optimizing your calendar. It's about freeing your time and energy for what truly matters—building regenerative systems that restore rather than extract.
I co-founded ReFi DAO, a global movement with 50+ local nodes and 300+ founders working to align finance with ecological and social regeneration. My work spans AI productivity and regenerative systems design.
I led growth at Toucan Protocol, helping tokenize $4B+ in carbon credits. I've explored ancient wisdom traditions through pilgrimage and spiritual inquiry, seeking to bridge timeless principles with modern technology.
The same AI that optimizes your calendar can help restore ecosystems. The question is: what will you build with your newfound time?
"What is ReFi? It's the financial system we need for a regenerative civilization—one that values nature, community, and long-term thriving over short-term extraction."
