Senior🎓
Top SchoolShawn Anderson is a founder and lead developer with 8 years of experience applying data science, token engineering, and AI to regenerative finance and nature-based solutions from Victoria, BC. He co-founded Gaia AI, building conversational agents that translate systems thinking and permaculture ideas into public-facing regenerative storytelling and community engagement. At Kwaxala he designs tokenization and technology to align indigenous stewardship with investable living-forest models, turning complex land-rights and ecological stewardship into auditable economic mechanisms. Previously he founded a web3 data-science consultancy, led token engineering work at BlockScience, and delivered high-impact data science at RBC that dramatically simplified access management using advanced matrix and tensor methods. He combines rigorous academic training (MSc in Big Data, 3.93/4.0) with hands-on full-stack development—from TensorFlow models on edge devices to Django web apps—bridging technical depth and mission-driven systems design. Notably, his work uniquely blends tokenomics, model-based systems engineering, and community-centered conservation to create scalable, ethically grounded financial tools for ecosystem regeneration.
