My Story

I started as a teacher. I became a builder. I never stopped learning—or sharing what I learned.

Teacher Technologist Program Leader Founder

My career did not begin in software. It began in a classroom in Washington, DC.

As a teacher, I saw a technology gap and vowed to do more. I began building computers and servers, learning networks, databases, and programming languages. I was hungry to understand how technology worked—and everything I learned, I showed someone else.

That curiosity became a technology career. The career became leadership. Leadership became products. Today, that journey is the foundation of K.I. Connects.

What I Believe Technology should reduce confusion, strengthen decisions, and help people move forward. Technology has always been my profession. Helping people has always been my purpose.

Why AI Needs Human Leadership

Technology should never replace good teaching, good healthcare, or good leadership.

My work focuses on helping organizations use AI responsibly—making complex information easier to understand, reducing administrative burden, improving decision-making, and giving people more time to focus on what matters most.

Whether supporting families through VitalVault, helping organizations improve operations through K.I. Connects, or enabling educators with better digital tools, my goal is the same:

Build technology that empowers people.

Featured Case Study

Milestone Metrics needed more than a website.

It needed a connected digital experience supporting intake, assessment, training, operational visibility, client engagement, and investor conversations.

Discuss a Similar Project
The Challenge
  • Manual assessments and intake
  • Disconnected client information
  • Limited operational visibility
  • Separate training and investor materials
The Experience We Built
  • Automated assessment platform
  • Structured intake and client workflows
  • Training Academy
  • Investor Experience Room
The Result

A stronger client journey, clearer workflows, a scalable technology foundation, and a more compelling experience for clients, partners, and investors.
