He is the founder of the Mentors in Tech program that helps overlooked and underserved tech students at smaller, less well known, accessible and affordable community colleges navigate and launch their careers through structured industry mentorship, industry and open source capstone projects, and employer connections. MinT has been recognized by the Community College Baccalaureate Association and the Geekwire Geeks Give Back Awards.

Previously, Kevin founded the Microsoft TEALS program, which has helped over 1,000 high schools across the US build successful, sustainable, and diverse computer science programs with industry volunteers from over 700 companies investing 1.2 million hours in the classroom. 

Kevin’s work has been featured in the New York Times, CNN, USA Today, and Univision. The founding and growth of TEALS is the subject of a Yale School of Management Case Study. Kevin holds a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley and a Master of Education from Harvard University.
