Who I am

I'm a founder, an AI strategist and a builder. I started F09 Tech because most businesses don't need more technology. They need the work itself to run better. So I start with people and process, and only then bring in the tools.

My background is hands-on. I've spent more than five years in AI and technology, from keeping critical systems, devices and networks running for busy operations teams to shaping AI strategy with business owners. That's why I care less about what's new and more about what holds up when the business is busy.

Today I lead strategy and client work at F09 Tech across AI, cloud, security and business operations, and I build products with my team at F09 Tech Labs.

My story

Where I come from shapes how I work.

01 Roots

L'union fait la force.

Unity makes strength. It's the motto on the Haitian flag my family held up on my graduation day, and it's the idea behind everything I build. People, process and technology do more when they work as one.

02 The work

I learned it by doing it.

I earned my Bachelor of Science at Georgia Southern University while working IT support on campus. Before I advised anyone on technology, I was the one keeping it running for the people who depended on it. I'm finishing my MBA there this December.

03 The people

Nobody gets here alone.

Every step had people behind it. They're who I work for, and they're why I treat a client's business the way I'd want mine treated: with care, straight answers and the work done properly.

What I do

Four practices. One plan.

Strategy, systems, automation and protection that reinforce each other instead of competing for attention.

Business Improvement

I map how work really moves through your business, find the friction, and simplify the process before any new tool gets added.

  • Process mapping
  • Operations review
  • Technology roadmap

AI & Automation

I design AI and automation that takes the repeatable work off your team, with a person approving anything outside the rules.

  • AI strategy
  • Workflow automation
  • AI tools for teams

IT & Cloud

Modern infrastructure without the complexity: cloud, networks, identity and the everyday systems your team depends on.

  • AWS · Azure · Google Cloud
  • Active Directory
  • Networking

Cybersecurity

Protection built into how the business operates, not bolted on after something goes wrong.

  • Vulnerability assessment
  • Penetration testing
  • Identity & access

How I think

Business first. Technology second.

I don't lead with tools. I start with how your business runs today: your goals, your team, and the way work actually gets done. Only then do I recommend the strategy, automation, AI, infrastructure or security that fits.

  1. People
  2. Process
  3. Technology
  4. Automation + AI
  5. Better operations

  1. Discover

    I learn the workflows, priorities and constraints shaping your business today.

  2. Analyze

    I find the friction, risk and disconnected work holding the operation back.

  3. Improve

    I simplify the process before adding a platform, an automation or another layer.

  4. Automate

    I connect the repeatable work so information and action move with less manual effort.

  5. Secure

    I build protection into how you operate instead of attaching it afterward.

  6. Optimize

    I review what changed, strengthen what works and get the system ready to scale.

What I'm building

I advise. I also build.

A company, a product studio and the projects coming out of it. Proof that the advice comes from someone who builds.

How I work

What you can expect from me.

  • Improvement, not criticism

    I look for ways to make what you have work better. I'm not here to judge what's already in place.

  • Integrity

    Straight answers and transparent work, including when the answer is that you don't need it.

  • Your business first

    Recommendations fit your goals, your team and your budget, not a vendor's roadmap.

  • Security first

    Protection is designed in from the start, in everything I build or recommend.

  • Excellence

    Careful work, finished properly, and measured by whether the business runs better.

  • Adaptability

    Technology moves fast. I keep learning so your plan stays current.
