About

I am an experienced technologist, systems thinker, strategic leader, innovator and entrepreneur working diligently to erase the gaps in innovation, education, capital access and infrastructure resources that underinvested communities and marginalized individuals in the U.S. and the Global South experiences. This incredible journey has proven to be a tremendous challenge and learning experience that has proven my grit and determination to get the job done. As a veteran in the ICT sector, I also endeavor to impart my knowledge and experience to the next generation of technologists to help them secure the jobs of tomorrow and thwart the threats of AI by learning to become deep and critical thinkers ready to solve the most daunting problems of our times. I founded and currently lead the EMBARC.biz digital collective for building a decentralized and cognitive collaboration cloud to accelerate innovation, diversity, and success in BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) tech entrepreneurship and economic development. Our team of seasoned professionals combine cloud, crowd, capital and cognitive computing (AI) specifically formulated to enable diverse entrepreneurs to start, finance
