Crew Manifest
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 field biologist, cognitive ecologist, and remote sensing expert. He has worked in the depths of the Grand Canyon, wandered Alaska, and taken some time to ponder the clouds in Patagonia and South Africa. He's spent the last six years working on understanding the science of qRNGs, new developments in quantum computing and quantum physics, and creating articles and whitepapers surrounding this topic for H.A.L.O QI (Hypercube Algorithmic Language Oracle Quantum Intelligence). He's interested in the ontological nexus between indigenous understanding of 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.
Eric Thomson
Eric is a software engineer most interested in where research meets the real world. He builds across the full stack, with a focus on the front end—turning complex, competing requirements into products that are clear, durable, and built to last. What motivates him isn't any particular technology; it's the work of bridging discovery and application—taking what research uncovers and integrating it into systems people can use.
That interest grew out of his own path. Eric trained as a scientist, earning a degree in biology and publishing ecological research, and came away with a real appreciation for how discoveries are made—and a desire to see them reach further. He moved into engineering to help carry research that next step into the world: research-based development, applied science, and the technological integration that turns ideas into something tangible and usable.
He brings a researcher's habits to that work—curiosity, rigor, and a systems view of how the pieces fit—along with a collaborator's instinct for building alongside good people. Based in the Colorado high country, when he's not building software, he's playing in the mountains.
Inger-Mette Stenseth
As a Creative Collaborative Consultant and Founder of the World Climate School, Inger-Mette works in the gap where climate ambition meets execution. She designs cross-cultural partnerships for frameworks like Horizon Europe, aligning capital, policy, and research to ensure complex climate initiatives are coherent, compliant, and deliverable. An early innovator in the circular economy, she founded 360hub Lighthouse in 2001. Blending a background in international retail and multimedia technology with Nordic ecosophy, she champions Net Positive systems over net-zero compromises to actively restore our planet. Guided by the "trimtab" philosophy, she focuses on conscious leadership and systemic leverage. A cosmopolitan, natural athlete, and Anna’s mother, she balances high-tech systems work with a deep love for outdoor sports, yoga, and water healing.
