Technology and Consciousness: The Integration

At the intersection of technological innovation and consciousness exploration, I bring a unique integration that today's evolving enterprises need. My journey began meditating at age 4 under the guidance of my Buddhist parents—my father practicing Tibetan tantra and my mother Japanese Zen—while simultaneously discovering coding at age 8. This parallel development has defined my approach to technology and leadership.

With 25+ years as a technology executive, I've evolved from early hacking explorations to what I now call "mind hacking"—applying the same analytical precision to consciousness that I bring to complex technology systems. This distinctive perspective has proven invaluable in my work transforming Fortune 500 operations into AI-first enterprises at ESW Capital/Trilogy Inc. and in successfully exiting my own tech venture.

The Power of Non-Dualistic Thinking

As both an ordained Zen priest and MBA-educated business leader, I specialize in guiding conscious startups and forward-thinking enterprises through the transformative potential of AI—not by replacing human potential, but by enhancing it. Through my company, Cognitive Technology Consulting Inc. (CTCI), I deliver cutting-edge AI implementation and strategic technology leadership that honors the synergy between technological advancement and human consciousness.

My methodology merges cutting-edge technological implementation with non-dualistic approaches to leadership, creating organizational systems where human consciousness and artificial intelligence elevate each other. This unique integration solves problems that conventional approaches cannot address.

"The true innovation in technology comes not from separating human and machine intelligence, but from recognizing them as complementary expressions of the same universal pattern."
