Research Interests
Machine Learning monetization models. The potential for new technologies like Blockchain to provide a platform for transparent exchanges of value for greater social impact. Tech giants have leveraged opensource technology to build their empires: why can’t our institutions do the same? And why are governments and education being left behind when it comes to who we trust to fix the world?
