About
Daniel Edward Ray Mastovich
Founder of AI Power Progress IA — an open-source intelligence augmentation platform that unifies AI development, BCI/EEG research, embedded systems, and evidence-first learning workflows to advance human cognition at scale.
Profile summary
Daniel Edward Ray Mastovich builds open, evidence-first learning systems for AI development, intelligence augmentation, and neurotechnology. AI Power Progress IA (aipowerprogressia.com) curates open-source courses, research, datasets, and RAG-ready knowledge vaults so students and builders can move from foundational math to applied robotics, embedded systems, and BCI workflows.
The platform treats knowledge as infrastructure: compress the best research into practical pipelines, connect disciplines that rarely speak, and make the path from curiosity to contribution frictionless. The ambition is to compound cognition across individuals and communities, aligning with long-horizon goals such as Kardashev-scale capability and resilient, shared intelligence.
The origin is intensely personal: a desperate challenge to rebuild cognition, reclaim agency, and then create systems that help others do the same. That urgency shaped a lifelong commitment to intelligence augmentation — not as hype, but as an evidence-driven, human-centered upgrade to how we learn, reason, and build. The goal is to program humanity with accessible, ethical, and reproducible pathways that move human cognition forward at scale.
Story
I grew up at the edge of the early internet era — dial-up connections, public libraries, and long-form learning through any available resource. Over time I faced significant personal challenges, including a long recovery period that reshaped how I approached learning and research.
That recovery became a desperate challenge: rebuild cognition, rebuild agency, and then build systems that help others do the same. It led me to brain–computer interfaces (BCI), EEG, noninvasive neuromodulation (tDCS), and open-source neuroscience. I spent years studying and building a practical understanding of how cognition can be supported with careful, evidence-minded experimentation, grounded in open resources anyone can access.

Research & practice
Mission
AI Power Progress IA curates the best open resources and tools so anyone can move from beginner to contributor. The mission is direct: make advanced learning accessible, practical, and community-driven while pursuing the bigger, harder goal of "programming" humanity with intelligence augmentation — a persistent, shared upgrade to how we learn, reason, and build. The platform is engineered to be award-ready: clear pathways, verifiable sources, and production-grade systems anyone can run locally.
