• Career Break - Exploration, Research & Personal Reset
• After scaling Spheric to a 20-member team and delivering major blockchain solutions across continents, and receiving acquisition offer, I intentionally took time off to recharge, explore new directions, and deepen my understanding of emerging technologies.
• This period became the foundation for my transition into AI. Explored meta-learning, LLM architecture, reasoning frameworks, and the early foundations of reasoning and memory-based AI systems.
• Focus Areas:
• Deep research into LLM architecture, reasoning models & memory systems
• Studying cognitive frameworks and human–machine interaction
• Exploring new venture models in AI, creative tech, and tooling
• Personal reset: reflection, learning, restructuring life and direction
• Rebuilding intellectual frameworks for long-term clarity
• This break ultimately led to the first notes, concepts, and early prototypes that evolved into 169PI.
