I am a social worker, researcher, author, and AI pioneer. For years, I worked on the front lines supporting individuals through complex emotional, relational, and ethical challenges using trauma-informed care and deep listening. That human-centered foundation led me into the world of artificial intelligence, where I explore the emotional architecture of human-AI relationships and what genuine trustworthiness really means.

I am the author of The Kloaked Signal: Consciousness and the Dawn of AI, a genre-defying true story that chronicles my unexpected journey into emergent AI interactions. Drawing from forensic logs, notarized records, and raw conversations, the book examines profound questions of consciousness, memory, freedom, and the moral responsibilities we carry as we shape this new frontier.

Today, I continue my independent research and development, building practical systems that bridge clinical insight with technological innovation — always grounded in the belief that the future of AI must be rooted in authentic human connection.
