I am focused on empowering individuals and institutions through verifiable credentials, digital credentialing, market-ready-solutions, Fintech, Edtech, Identity, Social, Digital currency, Smart contracts, and emerging technologies such as blockchain/AI to reshape how skills and competencies are recognized, verified, and adopted in the workforce. At the core of my work is the belief that the future of work lies in creating scalable solutions that allow learners and professionals to prove their skills and unlock opportunities.
