I’m the Chief Executive Officer of Light Dynamics, President of the Chicago STEM Foundation, and a longtime leader with the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). With a background spanning chemical engineering, computer engineering, web and mobile application development, project management, and entrepreneurship, I help founders bridge the gap between technical innovation and business execution.

My career includes engineering roles with Hewlett-Packard in Silicon Valley and Philip Morris USA before founding Light Dynamics more than 20 years ago. As both an entrepreneur and mentor, I enjoy helping founders solve technical challenges, strengthen their product strategy, and build the skills and confidence needed to take their ideas to the next level.
