I am an emergent technologist, global speaker, and humanitarian focused on advancing artificial intelligence, spatial medicine, the metaverse, immersive technologies, and human-machine collaboration. My work integrates innovation, trust, ethics, education, and applied sciences to drive global impact and community development.

I founded GatherVerse, a global platform dedicated to humanizing technology through international dialogue, knowledge sharing, and action-oriented conversations. I also established Lafayette Global Launchpad, a strategic advisory platform accelerating startup founders and innovators worldwide in industries such as AI, HealthTech,  XR,  fintech, robotics, and frontier technologies.

My ventures include Aug Lab, a collaborative initiative bridging biomedical sciences, AI, and immersive technologies; Hyper Policy, guiding public and private sectors in understanding innovation ecosystems; and Just Verify, focused on universal verification systems to build and maintain trust within AI environments.

I have been privileged to speak and advise globally at leading institutions and organizations, including Stanford University, Mayo Clinic, UCLA, Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, the Linux Foundation, CES, Verizon Media, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Berkeley Haas, Facebook, and United Negro College Fund (UNCF). My engagements span keynotes, fireside chats, masterclasses, and roundtable discussions.

I believe deeply in removing barriers to innovation, embedding human-centered ethical values, and maintaining urgency and strategic precision in technological advancement. I regularly lead educational initiatives through masterclasses, camps, and live virtual engagements, emphasizing authentic, real-time knowledge and practical understanding of AI and emerging technologies.

With over 40,000 learners globally through my LinkedIn Learning course, “What is the Metaverse?,” I remain committed to equipping individuals, teams, and leaders with strategic, actionable knowledge. As technology scales society, I advocate relentlessly for responsible innovation, securing humanity remains central in our technological evolution.
