I am an economist & a tech entrepreneur and live in Vancouver, Canada. I have worked with few technology startups in various capacities (Adviser, Director). I have built a technology framework based on quantification of all aspects of life and workplace. This combined with a constructed knowledge database and AI-driven guidance engine can generate activity road-map for a given objective.
