A strong technical foundation, spectacular mentors, and a willingness to stay the course speak to my success and achievements. Having the privilege to work with computer systems at a young age, I was given an opportunity to grasp the nature of this technology before most. Today, digital technologies are an inextricable part of my thought processes. Combined this with strong values from a multiracial family and an appreciation for natural beauty, the human component remains paramount in my engineering endeavors. Technology exists for us: the success of a solution is measured by how it improves our lives, not how it complicates them.After completing my MS at Georgia Tech I was thrilled to join one of the world's most innovative technology companies: NVIDIA. Working there allowed me to hone in areas of interest and grow quickly in a competitive environment. After several wonderful years my interests grew toward IoT. I gave a 6 month notice of departure and started on a path with Micro-Design in the fresh waters of Industrial IoT. My ongoing exposure to this space continues to peak new interests and grow my perspective. I'm very proud of MDi's achievements since I've taken the helm. I am even more excited when I remember the amazing staff and talent we have and the challenges we will surmount into the future of IoT.
