I work at the intersection of human systems and technology innovation, collaborating with organisations large and small to harness the transformative potential of web, social, internet of things, blockchain, and AI technologies.

Most recently I’ve been working with a decentralised team of software architects and engineers, developing the concept and realisation of supersoftware — software that is itself symbolic AI — for unparalleled neurosymbolic integration with LLMs. Our first small supersoftware experiment is a local-first web3 application to help you store and manage wallet and smart contract addresses simply and privately without being locked into a crypto wallet.

My research and innovation work has led to:

– an invitation to contribute to the Ethereum Foundation’s pre-ICO organisational deliberations

– working alongside an Ethereum co-founder on questions of ‘decentralized social‘ and digital identity, producing insights that influenced Dutch government policy

– a mentorship role in the Kernel community, helping innovators, builders, thinkers, and creatives deepen their understanding of technology and its application

– the adoption of my design for a systemic intervention in the agri-food sector by the UN Environment Programme’s Good Food Finance Network

– an invitation to chair a conversation with Sir Tim Berners-Lee at the Royal Society on how we can all profit from the World Wide Web.

If your organisation or vision is founded on transformative digital innovation in complex contexts, I’d love to learn more.
