Born in South Korea, I was adopted by an Irish and German entrepreneurs. I am a lifetime learner, studying philosophy, language, finance, and computational sciences, with a master’s in data science (and what we now call AI) from Carnegie Mellon.
A crypto and gaming native and professional, I coded my first script when I was twelve and spend my time reading countless books, illustrating imaginary worlds, and playing with the what-ifs. I am also a technical writer, illustrator, and advisor collaborating with industry leaders and academics around the world to positively influence the footprint of emerging technologies.
Though much of my time is spent at a computer, in a parallel life, I dance and train as an aerialist.
In mind and body, I seek to find the edge of what's possible, and go further.
I am an alumni of Odyssey Writing Workshops, one of the most prominent science fiction educators in the country. I am also an active member of Greater Los Angeles Writers Society and an active contributor to the SFWA blog. You can find my article on cryptocurrency and worldbuilding here.
My mission was, and still is, to create benevolent innovations and art that guide the world towards harmony in a dynamically evolving environment. I enjoy building tools that are incentively aligned to empower dreams and open doors, while advocating for those impacted by radically shifting frameworks. The majority of my time is spent thinking about information, economics, measurement, art, game theory, and computational sciences.
The impact of technology greatly outruns social adaptation. Demographics desynchronize, leaving many alienated and confused without a clear path for transition and integration. Unless addressed, social fracturing and adversarial inertia will increase. Humanity faces the daunting challenge of cultivating a synergistic relationship that enables scientific progress while preserving global prosperity.
As trade and financial currency grow in abstraction, face to face interaction becomes increasingly optional. Without direct intention, we will lose the ability, along with the motivation, to resolve conflicts. Technology brings the challenge, but also the solution, for it uniquely empowers the sharing of our thoughts.
