I make complex research inspectable.

I build source-grounded AI, knowledge-graph, publishing, and WebXR systems that turn difficult bodies of knowledge into experiences people can understand, evaluate, and explore.

One through-line, four forms.

Across research, products, publishing, and community, I keep returning to the same question: how can we make hidden structure visible without losing the source, the context, or the human being?

Research

Self Aware Networks

I founded Self Aware Networks Institute and built its research corpus across consciousness, artificial neurology, neurotechnology, AI, and connected theory programs.

Spatial systems

Knowledge you can move through

I design browser-first spatial interfaces where articles become decks, decks become rooms, cards become wall panels, and links become navigable portals.

Publishing

SVGN and Neural Lace

Through Silicon Valley Global News, VRMA, and the Neural Lace Podcast, I connect researchers, builders, and readers across AI, XR, BCI, and the science of mind.

Knowledge infrastructure

Sources into systems

I build provenance maps, structured wikis, searchable corpora, agent workflows, and graph-routing systems that transform large archives into usable research and product maps.

A sustained practice of convergence.

Across disciplines, the work follows one through-line: sensing minds, organizing evidence, explaining systems, and building interfaces that reveal relationships.

2010–2014

Web development, NeoMindCycle, hands-on neurofeedback, and early brain-computer-interface experiments.

2015–2019

SVGN, Neural Lace, NeurotechSF, science-tech journalism, and EEG-to-WebXR community projects.

2020–2022

WebXR hacknights, spatial interaction prototypes, and the public consolidation of Self Aware Networks.

2023–present

Source-grounded research programs, AI-assisted knowledge infrastructure, spatial publishing, and 2D-to-3D product systems.

Human-centered by design

Technology should expand agency.

My north star is humane technology: tools that make difficult ideas more accessible, preserve provenance, keep human judgment visible, and help people collaborate across disciplines.

Make the source visible.
Make complexity navigable.
Build for understanding, not mystique.
Use AI to extend human judgment.
