Building for Black builders in the AI era.

I’m B Donald Harris, founder of NotableBIT and host of BIT Voices. I build tools, platforms, and conversations that help Black builders lead with clarity, context, and ownership.

ABOUT

I'm An Apostolic Technologist.

For years, I thought of ministry, technology, leadership, teaching, and entrepreneurship as different worlds—different spaces I had learned to move through. The more I reflected, the more I realized they were different expressions of the same foundation.

Apostolic Technologist is the language I've found for both the pattern and the calling beneath my work. The disciplines change—ministry, technology, leadership, teaching, entrepreneurship—but the assignment remains: to build, teach, create, and open pathways where Black people can participate in technology with greater clarity, agency, and ownership.

A Path Shaped by Systems, People, and Purpose

  • Origins / Systems

    I started writing code at 9. Computers became a safe place for me—somewhere I naturally fit, where curiosity, patterns, and systems made sense. I found a home there, and that early sense of belonging went on to shape much of my life.

  • Engineering

    More than two decades in software engineering—across full-stack and back-end systems, .NET/C#, and enterprise platforms—taught me how complexity accumulates, how systems behave under pressure, and how much the choices we make matter to the people who rely on what we build.

  • Ministry / Leadership / Teaching

    Nearly three decades of ministry and leadership shaped how I think about responsibility, trust, communication, teaching, and purpose. That formation still guides how I lead.

  • Founder / Community

    NotableBIT, BIT Voices Podcast, BitVoices Network, and HindSite build platforms, conversations, and pathways around clarity, context, agency, ownership, and community.

  • Late Autism Diagnosis / Clarity

    As a late-diagnosed Autistic, I finally had language for lifelong patterns in how I process systems, sensory load, communication, focus, and workflow. The diagnosis gave me clearer context for how I have always understood and moved through the world.

MEDIA
SPEAKING
Technical enough for builders.
Human enough for rooms that need more than tools.
I speak at the intersection of AI, Black tech ownership, builder-led leadership, community, and purpose—grounding emerging technology in the judgment, context, and responsibility required to build well.
