Work
Building systems across scales
My work focuses on designing and building economic and technological systems that prioritize dignity, resilience, and long-term viability.
Rather than treating economics, technology, and governance as separate domains, this work approaches them as interconnected layers of the same system. Decisions made at one layer inevitably shape outcomes at the others.
The initiatives below operate at different scales, but they share the same design principles and reinforce one another.
One set of principles, multiple expressions
All of the systems described here are grounded in the Human-Centered Systems Manifesto. Each implements the same principles in a different context, from community practice to institutional frameworks to infrastructure.
The goal is not to promote isolated solutions, but to demonstrate how coherent system design can travel across scale without losing its ethical foundation.
Initiatives
BangNano
Community-scale economic practice
BangNano operates at the bottom-up level. It is a community-driven economic system that tests asset-based, collaborative economics under real-world constraints.
It provides lived proof that alternative economic designs can function in practice, not just in theory.
FAIR Economy
Institutional and policy framework
FAIR Economy translates ethical economic principles into a formal framework that can be evaluated, debated, and adopted by institutions and policymakers.
It exists to make ethical economic design legible at scale.
HAIAL
Human-centered AI governance
The Human-Centered AI Alliance addresses how artificial intelligence is designed, governed, and deployed.
It focuses on ensuring that AI systems strengthen human economic participation rather than displacing it, treating AI outcomes as a governance question rather than a purely technical one.
RoboHen
Human-centered automation infrastructure
RoboHen provides the infrastructure layer. It enables intelligent automation while keeping humans in control, preserving accountability and intent as systems scale.
It ensures that automation supports human-centered design rather than undermining it.
How these systems work together
These initiatives are intentionally complementary.
Community practice informs institutional design.
Institutional frameworks guide governance.
Governance principles shape infrastructure.
Infrastructure enables execution without losing human oversight.
Together, they form a coherent approach to building systems that endure beyond individual projects or leaders.
Orientation
This work is built with the expectation that it will be adopted, adapted, and extended by others.
Each system is designed to function independently, yet align with shared principles. The emphasis is on clarity, documentation, and governance rather than control.
Closing
This page exists to show how ideas become systems, and how systems can scale without abandoning human dignity.
Each initiative can be explored on its own. Their full value emerges when viewed together.
