As a business owner Kokinadis has fought to find solutions to complex business and technical problems in his professional career. His background includes telecommunications, social networks, and computer vision technologies, which have earned him several awards and honors, including Amazon's AWS RE:invent startup partner and competed as one of the best global startups at Dubai's GiTEX. Kokinadis was the founder of New Mexico Democrats for Democracy, which became a social media sensation speaking out against many democratic candidates and platforms before the #walkaway candidate departed the organization to fight socialism as a Republican candidate.
