Background

About Danny D.

As the Executive Director of Urban Tech Hero, I lead a nonprofit organization that empowers underrepresented communities to pursue careers in technology. I oversee the organization's strategic vision, fundraising, partnerships, and programs. I also serve as an Organizer for GDG Cloud Wilmington, a Google Developer Group that provides opportunities for local developers to learn new skills, network, and collaborate on tech projects. I plan and host monthly events featuring talks, workshops, and hackathons on cloud computing, AI, and web development. My passion for technology and social impact stems from my education and experience. I graduated from IT Works, where I learned the fundamentals of information technology and obtained multiple certifications. I also completed an Entrepreneurship/Entrepreneurial Studies certificate from the University of Maryland College Park, where I gained insights into launching and scaling innovative ventures. My core competencies include marketing, public speaking, and marketing strategy. I leverage these skills to promote the mission and vision of Urban Tech Hero and GDG Cloud Wilmington and to inspire and motivate others to join the tech industry. I believe that change comes from aligning myself with people who have similar experiences and goals and who can show me a more natural path to achieve success.
