I also founded ColliderX, an open-source and crowdsourced research and development hub for the toughest technical questions for blockchain and related technologies(ML/IOT), where I currently chair the board. Prior to that, I co-founded Rubix by Deloitte, and was the Blockchain Strategy Leader at Deloitte Canada. I've overseen tech teams building enterprise-grade projects to conceptualize and build DLT usecases to transform status quo processes across FSI, healthcare, supply chain, and public sector on a number of blockchain platforms.

Keeping me up at night: exponential tech, ICOs, business case development, start-ups, public policy. In my spare time I enjoy golf, running (incl. 2 half marathons), yoga, tea, travel, and meeting inspiring people.
