Welcome to my blog!
Here, you’ll find the weekly updates of my journey as a Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of an early-stage AI Technology Startup called Aequa. The goal of these posts is to share the story and learnings as they unfold in real time instead of after success or failure has been reached. By de-romanticizing the narrative, I hope to share information, ideas, and challenges in a transparent manner that sparks conversation and inspires change.
Who am I? I’m an engineer who said yes to an idea. I’m a leader who’s ready to take on business challenges from the top instead of the bottom. I’m a community builder ready to set an example for inclusive and equitable workplaces. And I’m a Co-Founder and CTO of a technology startup.

Communication: Tech vs Non-Tech
There is an incredible amount of value in being able to explain your work at a level everyone can understand because it brings about:
Diversity of thought
Inspiration
Transparency
And more
But what are some effective ways to make this happen?
Customer-First Marketing: How Generalization Can Lead to Stereotyping
In a way, we behave just like a machine learning model does. When we’re given the data we have, we try to generalize it as best we can, but at some point we can easily lean toward overfitting for optimal yield.
Spoiler Alert:
If you want to build a company that fosters belonging, promotes inclusivity, and models business practices you’d be proud of for years to come, you have to do the work on yourself first.
Accelerators
A good accelerator program will connect you to resources, information, networks, mentors, and more…so why is it that some folks have terrible experiences with accelerators and others need it just to figure out what is going on?
Did You Know?
To assume the title of Founder and C-Suite Executive of an AI tech startup, all you have to do is say yes to an idea.
