serj solarpunk
hey 👋 i’m serj. i exist in a superposition between eastern spiritual practice and frontier tech, bridging worlds where science and spirituality converge — ultimately in service of increasing agency and flourishing for all beings.
i’m building holon research focusing on local inference and awakening tech. i previously co-founded chipp.ai, building private, enterprise-grade AI, worked at the meaning alignment institute to align tech with human values, and developed ‘AI pedagogy’ at city as a school. i’ve also helped 40K+ people build ‘second brains’ and am now the maintainer of solarpunklist directory.
i beleive the solarpunk revoluton is a spiritual one aswell as a technological one. dont be shy to go full ‘woo’ with me on psy phenomena, alt medicine, and meditaion just DM me -
welcome to my attempt at weaving the many serjs into a cohesive bundle on the internet.

bhutan: the buddhist kingdom weaving spirituality, sustainability, AI & bitcoin | edge city bhutan 001
lessons from visiting gelephu mindfulness city & monasteries.
At the edge of the himalayas, bhutan is quietly laying the foundation for a once-in-a-generation experiment: a special economic zone designed around buddhism, dharma, and tech-enhanced flourishing.
