Jay is a national expert on aging and disability services, Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS), health policy, and assistive technology. Before joining Guidehouse, he served under three governors as the State Director for Aging and Adult Services where he was responsible for a wide range of Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) for vulnerable adults, including the administration of the Older Americans Act, Medicaid 1915c waiver programs, protective services, and public guardianship. He was also Vice President for State Markets for a global healthcare IT company where he served as an SME for state clients. He also led the Human and Social Services division efforts related to data analytics, machine learning, and AI for Medicaid and other vulnerable adult populations. Jay is passionate about technology and helps states evaluate and envision how technology can help them meet current and future goals and objectives.

In his current role with Guidehouse, and as a former state government leader, professor, and President of the National Association of State Units on Aging and Disability; Jay has worked closely with state and federal leadership on strengthening protections for vulnerable adults and people with SMI / SUD, developing clinical and performance benchmarking data for recipients of traditional and Managed LTSS services. Jay has more than 13 years of experience leading the development and implementation of state programs such as 1915(b)(c)(i) and 1115 waivers, No Wrong Door (NWD) / Single Entry Point for LTSS, Balancing Incentive Program, Money Follows the Person, and administration of HCBS services. As an SME, he has testified before Congress and various state legislative committees and subcommittees.

As a tenured professor, he developed the first nationally accredited graduate program in Long-Term Care (LTC) administration and he has developed and taught graduate-level courses in statistics, research methods, public policy, healthcare administration, aging and disability services networks, and applied data analytics.

As a state director and later as an SME at Guidehouse, he applies these academic techniques to support the administration and oversight of state programs and services. He develops, promotes, and maintains relationships with leaders at health systems, government agencies, universities, and associations to drive a better understanding of the need to integrate health, social, and behavioral supports.

Jay provides clients with valuable insight, policy, and program consulting, budget analysis, and technical assistance while empowering them to realize success in areas such as organizational assessment, risk mitigation strategies, applied data analytics (including reimbursement and fee schedule analysis, network adequacy, budget neutrality, rate setting, and alternative payment models) for both FFS and Managed HCBS and LTC environments, program development, enhancing federal match, interagency collaborations, stakeholder engagement, and state planning services.

Andrew is equal parts tech enthusiast, educator, and the kind of person who can’t resist pressing buttons just to see what happens (sometimes even twice). A former classroom teacher with nearly a decade of experience crafting learning experiences for techies of all ages, he traded chalkboards for the keyboards of the tech industry in 2020 and hasn’t looked back. Since then, he’s worn many hats—Community Manager, Developer Advocate, and now Developer Educator at Twilio—where he helps developers connect the dots between imagination and implementation. When he’s not building (or breaking :sweat_smile:) things with tech, you’ll find Andrew soaking up the west coast vibes on Vancouver Island, Canada—where he tries (and often fails) to look outdoorsy.

Emmanuel Hyacinth is a dedicated tech educator and the Tech Lead of Techstars Hub, a non-profit organization committed to empowering the younger generation with technological skills in Lagos State, Nigeria. Born on October 27, 1991, in Anambra State, Emmanuel is the first born in a family of six, who faced early adversity with the loss of three siblings and his mother. Despite these challenges, his passion for technology was ignited at a young age when he assisted his aunt, a teacher, with tasks involving PowerPoint and MS Word, laying the foundation for his future in tech.
Initially pursuing a career as a teacher, Emmanuel's curiosity and drive led him to learn coding seven years ago. Recognizing the exponential growth of the tech industry and the scarcity of skilled manpower in his region (Nigeria), he founded Techstars Hub. This initiative aims to bridge the gap in tech education in underserved communities, particularly where access to technology is limited. Under his leadership, Techstars Hub has grown from a small group of five students to a thriving community that now impacts numerous young minds.
By leveraging open source tools and resources, Emmanuel has overcome significant barriers—such as limited access to laptops, unreliable electricity, and the challenge of balancing tech classes with regular schoolwork—to provide high-quality education in areas like cybersecurity, graphics designing, frontend and backend development, and more. His work not only makes tech education accessible but also aligns with the principles of open source: collaboration, accessibility, and community building.
In his presentation, Emmanuel will share his journey and the transformative power of open source in education, joined by some of his students who will testify to how these initiatives have shaped their aspirations and careers in tech. A married father of two, Emmanuel continues to be a beacon of hope and innovation, proving that with passion and perseverance, one can turn adversity into opportunity.
