Technology and Consciousness: The Integration

At the intersection of technological innovation and consciousness exploration, I bring a unique integration that today's evolving enterprises need. My journey began meditating at age 4 under the guidance of my Buddhist parents—my father practicing Tibetan tantra and my mother Japanese Zen—while simultaneously discovering coding at age 8. This parallel development has defined my approach to technology and leadership.

With 25+ years as a technology executive and ordained Zen priest, I've evolved from early hacking explorations to what I now call "mind hacking"—applying the same analytical precision to consciousness that I bring to complex technology systems. Currently pursuing a PhD in Metaphysics while serving as Fractional CTO for multiple AI companies, I create systems where human consciousness and artificial intelligence elevate each other.

In parallel to my technological career, I explore consciousness, non-dual philosophy, and spiritual practices through my metaphysical blog.

"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."

The Power of Non-Dualistic Thinking

As both an ordained Zen priest and MBA-educated technology leader, I specialize in guiding conscious startups and forward-thinking enterprises through the transformative potential of AI—not by replacing human potential, but by enhancing it.
