Having grown up in Indonesia where he witnessed the anthropomorphic effects of climate change at his doorstep, Jason founded Pancasila after principles derived from his master’s thesis which researched decentralised, micro-grids for rural electrification from renewable resources on the archipelago. Jason’s career in tech began after a foray into Mechanical Engineering at Karlsruhe Institute for Technology was rerouted when he was conscripted into Fallschirmjägerbattalion 373, an airborne special forces division of the German Military where he was recruited to join the Kommando Spezialkräfte Marine. Returning to campus after completing his mandatory service, Jason attended a symposium on Urban Development in Indonesia and was immediately drawn in by the multidisciplinary approach to engineering socioeconomic outcomes. After reading Peter Senge’s book “The Fifth Discipline”, Jason recognised that intentional use of technology could be leveraged to drive sociological change at global scale. Jason’s passion for mitigating climate change led him to pivot to a pilot programme initiated by the Royal Academy of Engineering in the UK designed to create ‘T-shaped’ engineers. He went on to complete his BSc in Engineering for Sustainable Development at the University of Sussex, and continued to the longer standing MPhil in Engineering for Sustainable at the University of Cambridge. During this period he met his future business partner and co-founder, Rashid Mansoor, together, they co-founded Hadean Supercomputing Ltd with the ambition to democratize supercomputing, creating digital twins and simulations of Earth’s processes to combat climate change. His role in forming strategic partnerships with Microsoft led to the creation of the largest instance of a metaverse in 2018 to date, when Hadean launched a live demo with CCP Games at that year’s Game Developer Conference. Thereafter, Jason joined forces with Jordan Alexander to co-found Pancasila, to build on their past experiences in cloud computing to enable decentralized decision-making in web3. Pancasila’s first investment is Metagravity, where Jason currently sits on the board of directors. Via Pancasila, he has also been incubating the development of Metacognitive, a Human-Machine Interface for Generative AI, where he is founder and CEO. Metacognitive’s platform delivers dynamic orchestration of Generative AI, seamlessly aligning the increasing capabilities of multi-modal LLMs to the everyday needs of B2B2C companies.
