I’m passionate about designing and implementing technologies that facilitate the development of the future. This is an ambitious undertaking; the Masason Foundation is providing the resources to effectively pursue it. Having worked with an IBM Fellow at IBM, Hanson Robotics, Mass General (Harvard), and UPitt on neurotech, and now at Microsoft, I’ve had opportunities to utilize the vast world of technology. I will continue my exploration through the resources and network that I am provided at Masason.

My ultimate goal is to help people, whether it be a thousand or a billon or more, and am currently collecting all of the necessary skills to do so through my own venture. To keep up with my journey, check out my website (okezuebell.com).
