πŸš€ About Me

Pioneering the shift from the Attention Economy to the Intention Economy. I believe in a future where technology amplifies human creativity rather than extracting human attention.

πŸ’» Pivotal's Ecosystem

Transforming how applications are created. Build and deploy fully functional apps through natural conversation - type it, or speak it! ChatAndBuild turns ideas into reality in minutes, not months – no coding required. Our platform achieved a 97% first-try success rate and is revolutionising the $230B app development market.

Making Bitcoin productive through a secure staking infrastructure that turns static BTC into yield-generating plusBTC while maintaining the security principles of Bitcoin.

A strategic partnership with Bloomberg transforming content consumption by allowing viewers to earn Bitcoin while watching premium content – creating an elegant on-ramp for millions into our ecosystem.

πŸ”­ Background

  • Dual Masters from University of Oxford in AI and Major Programme Management
  • Twitter's 10th international hire and helped scale global operations
  • Former VP of Asia at Brandwatch (acquired for $400M)
  • Previous early team member at Zilliqa (Web3 pioneer)
  • Led initiatives that transformed how people create and capture value online

πŸ’‘ Vision

I founded Pivotal with a mission to rebuild the internet's economic DNA. We're creating infrastructure that turns:

  • Ideas into applications without coding barriers
  • Passive consumption into active earning
  • Creative energy into autonomous value

πŸ“± Projects & Contributions

  • Pioneered conversational programming with ChatAndBuild
  • Developed novel Bitcoin staking mechanisms for PivotalChain
  • Created new economic models for content consumption with EarnTV
  • Leading the "prompt coding revolution" transforming 5M developers into 500M creators

🌐 Speaking & Thought Leadership

My work spans the intersection of AI and human-centered technology. I speak regularly on:

  • The Intention Economy revolution
  • AI-powered creation platforms
  • Bitcoin productivity systems
  • The future of creator economics

πŸ”— Connect

I'm always interested in connecting with fellow builders, investors, and visionaries who share our passion for empowering human intention.

"The future belongs to those who build it."
