At Cameron Elementary, the library became my launchpad. I can still remember the first time I picked up a book by Jules Verne. Within a couple of days I was hooked, submarines under the sea, voyages to the moon, machines that bent the laws of nature. Then came H.G. Wells, with time travel and invisible men. Those weren’t just stories to me; they were doorways.

I wasn’t reading to pass the time. I was reading to imagine. Every chapter pushed me to sketch ideas in my notebooks, rockets, circuits, strange machines that maybe, just maybe, could exist one day. I began tinkering, building, and experimenting with whatever I could find. Those afternoons shaped the way I thought: invention wasn’t something reserved for faraway geniuses. It was something I could try myself.

From Imagination to Innovation

• Science fiction became science practice. What I read at Cameron Elementary became the foundation for how I saw technology. Each story was a challenge: could I design something just as bold?
  
• Engineering books became my compass. By the time most kids were trading baseball cards, I was trading library checkouts, electrical manuals, physics primers, mathematics texts. They taught me how to connect imagination with real formulas and real designs.
  
• OpenQQuantify is that story continued. The company I lead today is built on the same principles that captivated me as a child: curiosity, invention, and the belief that the future can be built by anyone willing to learn and create.
  

A Founder’s Journey

Today, OpenQQuantify stands as a platform for generative AI, robotics, digital twin simulations, and quantum-safe cryptography. But beneath every breakthrough, there’s still the child who once turned the pages of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells and thought, why not?

The mission is the same as it was back then: to dream, to design, and to help others build futures that are as bold and imaginative as the books that started it all.
