Devika Toprani is a multidisciplinary human-centered AI learning systems architect, global educator and founder of Somagraphic Learning™ framework.

Grounded in embodied cognition, cognitive load theory and human-AI interaction research, Somagraphic Learning™ is pre-AI framework and system-level tool (Attempt → Map → Refine) prioritizing sense-making before output to prevent automation bias and reduce cognitive overload in AI-driven contexts. (March, 2026)

Somagraphic Learning™ = the Missing Human Cognition Layer before AI

Deployable tool: Map Before Machine™ is the world's first AI literacy mechanism that requires learners to generate a timestamped, externalized cognitive artifact before any interaction with an AI begins.

Proposed & defined learner competency Somatic AI Literacy™, the ability to perceive, interpret, and regulate how interacting with AI physically impacts the body, nervous system, and emotional state.

Somagraphic Learning™ Framework is Protected, and ready to use: USPTO trademarked, IP Protected with US Copyright Office, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licensed, published on Open Science Framework and the Social Science Research Network. Preprint archived at University of Illinois IDEALS repository.

Devika's professional journey spans K-12 and higher education across the US, UAE, and India, including national accreditation coordination at UIUC and HR and onboarding at George Mason University.

Academic background:
BA & BS Psychology and MS in Management STEM (UIUC).

Substack (Soulful Learning with AI). Writes to 600+ Substack subscribers on human-centered AI in learning.

Devika pioneers the philosophy that "Learning is not AI-made; it is Soul-made."
Conceptual clarity begins with the learner's OWN struggle (AI refines, never replaces).

Services: Global educational consulting, framework licensing, micro-credentials, professional development, implementing Somagraphic Learning™ in AI-driven contexts

Drivia is the Canvas-class adaptive AI platform powering enterprise learning, higher ed, and public-sector workforce training. JAX, Drivia's adaptive AI tutor, runs Q-learning + Bayesian Knowledge Tracing on top of a UCB1 router across six AI models (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, Grok, DeepSeek, Groq) with circuit breakers — co-architected with Frank Morales, a Boeing Fellow. Drivia is currently in active multi-million-dollar contract negotiation with TechServ Corporation as channel partner across healthcare, public safety, workforce, and city/county program markets. Accelerators: NVIDIA Inception, AMD Instinct, AWS Activate.

Wilson is also the author of the Drift Thesis — original IP on context decay and adaptive intelligence — and the System Architect newsletter on LinkedIn (16,100% growth in seven days). He has 2.2M+ combined social following (TikTok 1.1M, Instagram 633K, Facebook 471K) with one video at 44 million views, has appeared on Family Feud (Steve Harvey), Rich House Poor House (UK), and KVUE Austin News, and has consulted for Linktree and Beacons.

Wilson speaks on adaptive AI engineering, multi-model routing and inference cost engineering, the Drift Thesis (context decay, hallucination root cause), distribution as a moat for AI builders, and immigrant founder origin.

For the past 15 years, I have been an integral part of many successful organizations due to my experience and dedication. My coaching and consulting has allowed clients to achieve excellence as well as exceed their goals. It has been a privilege to be associated with such great achievements.

My Human Centered based methods have been proven to be successful, having been applied in a variety of projects with resounding results. My approach is comprehensive, taking into consideration all contributing factors to obtain the desired outcomes for clients that provide real value.

I'm passionate about empowering individuals and systems to identify and tackle the obstacles they face on their journey to success. Building trust within their systems through means of inspection, experimentation, and adaption we revise collaboration, & communication. I'm committed to helping my clients achieve long-term results. My ultimate goal is to support them in C.E.C. so that they can make lasting progress in life.

Collaboration is critical for the success of any solution. Working with a diverse group of people helps produce more effective results, and that's why I always strive to create an atmosphere where such collaboration can take place. By leveraging the skillsets of different individuals, we can develop high-quality solutions in a timely manner.

Experimentation is an invaluable tool in finding suitable solutions. To approach a problem in an effective manner, it's important to look beyond the traditional methods and explore something new. This might include using different techniques or tools to test out potential ideas and uncover the best solution. Experimentation gives us a chance to discover and try something that could potentially be groundbreaking, so it shouldn't be overlooked when dealing with complex problems.

Trust is essential for any team or organization to be successful. This confidence is established through effective communication and how information is shared. It's important to understand the power of these interactions, as they can create a feeling of reliability that allows everyone in the group to collaborate confidently.

The challenge organization’s face today is how to sustainably provide for the needs of growth while simultaneously protecting what has been built. A balanced approach is needed, one that combines sustainability with modern innovations. We must build a foundation for future prosperity that takes into account the needs of the organization, individual and the consumer.
