KING LEAD LAB / CURRENT VENTURE
Build intelligence people can act on
Co-building AI-assisted opportunity intelligence that combines public project signals, company context, research synthesis, and human review.
I have been building with technology since the early web.
The tools changed - from IRC and school Macs to enterprise identity, industrial data, live products, and AI. The through-line stayed the same: make complex systems useful to real people.
Curiosity became a practice.
Born in 1986, I grew up watching my uncle work with computers, games, IRC, and the early internet at my grandmother's house. He showed me how the internet worked before it was part of everyday life, and I was hooked. By seventh grade I had tested out of keyboarding and was spending two periods a day in the computer lab through seventh and eighth grade, helping teachers update software on the colorful, translucent iMacs.
I started building for real people.
By high school I was already making websites for clients, working with my uncle's web company, and doing graphic design while teaching myself networking and systems. I was learning the same lesson from both sides: technology matters most when someone can actually use it.
People and systems became the same problem.
I went to college on a theater scholarship, but technology stayed at the center of my life. I made study guides, built forums and hubs for student life, organized parties, and used software to help people find each other and get things done. The work was technical, social, and practical all at once.
Technical depth became a way to move work forward.
From help desk work forward, I kept moving toward harder systems and wider responsibility: enterprise IT, multi-site infrastructure, cloud identity, cybersecurity, SCADA data paths, AI-assisted workflows, and product systems. I translate technical reality into decisions people can trust and work teams can actually ship.
