ABOUT THE FOUNDER
A Journey Fueled By Curiosity and Innovation
FROM ROOTS TO RESULTS
From dismantling electronics as a child to leading global engineering organizations, my journey has been driven by curiosity, innovation, and a commitment to improving lives through technology.
​
What began as simple exploration evolved into a lifelong pursuit of building systems that empower people, strengthen communities, and scale opportunity. Through decades of hands-on engineering, global leadership, and cross-cultural collaboration, I learned that lasting impact comes from aligning technology with human potential.
Today, I apply those lessons to help organizations navigate complexity, accelerate innovation, and build solutions that endure.
