Forrest started his first company at 19 while studying engineering at UAB. In the makerspace, he learned to turn ideas into working systems, from 3D-printed prosthetics to N95 masks built during the pandemic.
He later founded Cicada, a software company that helps organizations turn complicated operations into clear, usable tools.
That is the method he brings to public service: understand the system, find where it fails, and build a fix people can measure.
