Team Roster
Brian Krawitz
Brian Krawitz has taken a life's worth of multidisciplinary experience and woven it into who he is now, an Imagineer, Community Instigator, MetaConnector, Poetic Philosopher, Transmedia Visionary, Transformational Futurist, and Creative Technology Evangelist. His noble purpose as defined by who is, what does, and why he does it is to bridge the gap between imagination and reality, within the physical and virtual worlds. He see's things from a unique viewpoint, which enables him to start with a dream and help unlock its potential.
Joseph August West
Joseph August West is a multidisciplinary consciousness researcher, mountaineer, and adventurer. He's spent the last six years working on understanding the science of qRNGs, modern quantum physics, and creating articles and whitepapers surrounding this topic for HALO QI. He's interested in the ontological nexus between indigenous understanding of Gaia / Earth as the true technology, and the current worldwide obsession with seeking meaning in machines instead of our own beings.
Mason Ulrika Borchard
Mason Ulrika Borchard is a software engineer and consciousness researcher whose work spans ed-tech, ecology, quantum-randomness experimentation, and linux development. With Danielle Caputi, she co-founded Ionosphere, a QRNG-driven audiovisual research platform investigating consciousness-matter interaction, where she leads data analysis. With Timothy Beach, she co-founded Aegix Linux, a turn-key distribution that revives older ThinkPads otherwise unable to run modern operating systems. Alongside doctoral studies at Valdosta State University, she is developing Borchard Labs, an open-access research simulation platform for underserved STEM undergraduates, and serves as a senior software engineer at Stride, Inc., where she leads development of Story Studio, an AI reading app that grew from her hackathon-winning prototype. She earned her bachelor's at UC Santa Cruz and master's at University of Southern California.
Dr. Danielle Caputi
Dr. Caputi received a Ph.D. in atmospheric science from the University of California and has (co)-authored fifteen peer-reviewed publications. She has extensive experience analyzing field data to infer regional flux estimates and contributing factors of pollution, connecting the small scales (micro-meteorology and chemistry) with the large scales (synoptic meteorology), as evidenced by her interdisciplinary dissertation titled: Meteorological Factors surrounding Ozone Pollution in California’s Central Valley: An Integrative Approach. She has expertise in philosophy of science and environmental justice and can communicate broader societal implications of numerical findings in her writing, including effects and solutions for DI communities.
