A patient kind of technology support.
Founded in July 2025 by high school students focused on bridging the technology gap in their community — one neighbor at a time.
It started with a folding grey-top Lifetime table.
The idea for Enablet grew from a simple realization: technology is moving faster than people can keep up with. AI is developing every day, devices are changing, and the digital world never slows down, but so many people, seniors especially, are being left behind by it. Our founder saw this up close watching their grandparents struggle with things the rest of us take for granted: video calls, smartphones, staying safe online. That frustration, and the belief that it didn't have to be that way, became Enablet.
It started on a folding grey-top Lifetime table set up in the dining room: fixing computers and troubleshooting whatever came up. Small problems, patient solutions. Along the way, that meant helping teachers at school, friends, and family who needed a hand. The name had to be short, memorable, and capture the idea of enabling people through technology. Enablet stuck, and so did the mission. Unlock access. Enable people.

The team.
Founder & Executive Director
Ryan Gong
Founded Enablet at 16 years old. Brings strong knowledge in computer hardware and the latest technology trends, and is actively developing skills in AI workflows and automation. Placed 4th at states in FBLA Information Technology and competed at nationals in Anaheim (2025); placed 5th at states in FBLA Computer Problem Solving and competed at nationals in San Antonio (2026). A committed advocate for community involvement, he serves as Secretary of his local Rotary Interact club. Driven by a firsthand understanding of how widespread technology misconceptions are, and how people of every age struggle because of them.
Director of Operations
Adam Dang
Keeps events running on time, volunteers coordinated, and logistics smooth, the person making sure every session starts on schedule and every donated device ends up where it's needed. Outside of Enablet, Adam is actively involved in his local Interact Club and at his church, and brings that same discipline to the pool: he's a club swimmer, a swim coach, and a certified lifeguard, roles that have sharpened his ability to stay calm, patient, and organized under pressure.
Head of Programs
Cory C.
Designs and delivers our sessions, from senior tech clinics to youth workshops, with a gift for breaking complex ideas down into something anyone can follow. Cory is deeply involved with FBLA, competitive swimming, and his local Interact Club, and has sharpened his business and technical thinking through the PFEW Business Camp along with engineering programs at both Drexel University and the University of Maryland.
Head of Communications
Bryan Y.
Tells Enablet's story online and in person. Bryan is an advanced tennis and pickleball player and the co-founder of an automotive club. He has competed at the state level in HOSA and is a member of FBLA. Before that, he was on a robotics team that became tri-state ISA Award champions.
