ICY Tech CEO
At just 20, Mr. J.P. King represents the next generation of visionary technology leaders. A dedicated college student and lifelong gamer, J.P.’s early fascination with video games evolved into a deep curiosity for coding, design, and computer science, which are the building blocks of modern innovation.
Inspired by how technology can empower creativity and learning, and guided by the entrepreneurial example of his mother, J.P. founded ICY Tech to bridge the worlds of technology, media, and education. His simple but powerful mission is to make tech learning accessible, engaging, and relevant for youth from underrepresented communities.
