Lately, my life has felt like a whirlwind of overlapping roles. I’m an IT consultant by trade, deeply invested in human services and economic development by passion, and—somewhere along the way—I became a guest writer for The Baltimore Times. The pace can be overwhelming, and at times disorienting, but it has given me something invaluable: a clearer view of the widening gap between how we talk about technology in Baltimore and how residents actually experience it.
