Makes Things Happen.
Marx is a Ph.D. student, advocate, designer, and filmmaker working at the intersection of technology, human potential, and social change. Born into extreme poverty, his journey embodies the power of love and purpose.
Overcoming adversity, he cared for dying family members while dedicating himself beyond academics and work to social activism, inspired by his grandmother. By 16, he had united 62 high schools and over 3000 student organizations to advocate for improved youth development. At 18, he raised $100,000 to pursue education in the U.S. and published a 500-page illustrated book.
By 23, Marx has founded two startups, directed two non-profits, and published 10 papers in top-tier AI, computer science, and psychology conferences. Now at 25, a Ph.D. researcher at the University of Washington, he explores realigning technology & social structure for human flourishing. As Principal of ForYouPage.Org, Marx leads national and global initiatives in youth mental health and AI-era social entrepreneurship and workforce development. His strategic consulting brings youth-centric perspectives to Fortune 500 companies and major non-profits.
Marx's unique journey fuels his mission to foster universal human flourishing. By bridging academia, activism, and industry, he's reshaping approaches to global challenges, empowering youth, and harnessing technology's potential for societal good. In his free time, he performs standup comedy, MMA and fights with his big dogs and fat cats.
A believer in nature and communities, he volunteered at numerous community organizations such as regional wildlife conservation societies, refugee resettlement programs, and crisis hotline center.
