要約
Computer software developer and cooperative leader dedicated to building technology that serves the human person. Guided by the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, I focus on how Generative AI and thoughtful automation can elevate the dignity of work and remove barriers to human connection. As the Representative Director of a worker cooperative, I design transparent workflows that put decision-making power directly into the hands of the workers, while fostering deep, supportive collaboration across distributed global teams. 私の目標は、技術が人間の代替物ではなく、人間の開花のための道具であり続けることを確実にする、共同開発パートナーシップを育むことです。
主要スキル
Generative AI & Human-Centric Tech: AI-assisted development, focused AI integration for cooperatives, and creating tools that amplify human creativity and connection.
Approach: Aligning software architecture with human dignity; prioritizing systems that build trust, ensure transparency, and unite teams in a shared purpose.
