I am actively interested in business models that supercede restrictive bureaucracy to make quality healthcare access affordable & equitable, particularly in the developing economies.
I seek ways to leverage blockchain to solve for complex issues involving creator & artist monetization, proof of ownership, credentialing & incentivized community building (DAOs, Guilds etc.) as a cornerstone of societal interactions in the future.
As a proponent of the existence of AGI in our lifetimes, I aim to build products commercializing access to sophisticated AI in daily use cases especially focussing on making basic substinence accessible to everyone at marginal cost.
Having witnessed the effects brands have on emotional wellness & mental health through delivering self actualization to people, I want to build ethical and memorable brands that last beyond centuries.
