Vinay Bhawnani
Founder & CEO
A lifelong mathematician and exotic car fanatic, Vinay Bhawnani has found a way to indulge both passions. Lights Out is celebration of daily driving experiences made exceptional, while his other business ventures, including Loudoun Test Prep, embrace the cerebral.
Vinay’s career has included technical consulting work in New York City and an eight-year position with AOL. Locally, he worked as the Technical Director for a mobile start-up company and until early 2015, was Director of Product Management and the Research and Development head for a local software development company.
