Albert’s Experience

Albert grew up in El Paso, Texas as the son of educators. He immediately understood the importance of education as he helped grade homework and setup classrooms for the start of the school year at a young age. Albert obtained his Bachelor's of Electrical Engineering at the Univ. of Texas at El Paso and went on to get his Master's of Electrical Engineering and PhD at Purdue Univerisity. Throughout college, he was active in numerous student organizations and honor societies that focused on community service and growth.

He then joined an engineering and scientific consulting firm to focus on failure analysis in a wide range of areas until an opportunity to help solve problems with US Army soldiers arose. Albert volunteered to help problem-solve in Afghanistan with deployed service members for nearly a year. After his deployment, he helped run the program that sent engineers and scientists to battle zones to help solve problems. During this time he helped grow the training program that prepared individuals to grow skill sets, instill confidence, and solve problems overseas.

After seeing the impact of this training on engineers and scientists, Albert decided to co-found a company based on bringing the same type of training to service members, educators, and leaders of various-sized businesses and institutions. The goal of the company is to reduce the barrier of entry to using these technologies in problem-solving, grow confidence to try things on your own, and expose areas of improvement through tech-focused challenges and workshops.

Albert has also helped found and is a current board member of Athena Response, a non-profit organization formed for impacting the community through a similar style of technology training and through applying technology and training in humanitarian aid/disaster response situations near and abroad.
