The power to think like a Native Hawaiian in tech
summary
Claims that Hawaiian values drive measurable product decisions and prototypes: uses Figma React TypeScript and an in‑browser UI prototype tool to ship features like avatar roundification; runs a black and white CSS experiment during a Mister Rogers marathon with FFmpeg pipelines that raised over $42,000 and produced strong social feedback; ties concepts like kolohe, aloha, and lokahi to risk frameworks, AB testing, cross‑discipline triads, and three canoe championships that evidence collaborative success.
