In a groundbreaking collaboration, John Miller and Darcell Walker, two African American professionals, have unveiled Huemind, an innovative app designed to empower inventors in protecting and developing their ideas for commercial products.
The genesis of Huemind can be traced back to the fortuitous meeting of Miller and Walker during their tenure at IBM. Miller, a seasoned software developer, and Walker, an intellectual property attorney, shared a passion for innovation and a desire to simplify the complexities surrounding idea protection. Their combined expertise and shared vision laid the groundwork for their groundbreaking venture.
John Miller, an esteemed figure in software development, brings over three decades of experience to Huemind. With a background in chemistry from MIT and electrical engineering from Boston University, Miller’s innovative spirit has led to the founding of AppProved Software Corporation and the acquisition of over 20 United States patents. “With Huemind, we aim to empower individuals to realize their entrepreneurial dreams and confidently safeguard their ideas,” said Miller.
