I am a developer
I wrote my first code in Pascal on actually floppy floppy disks when I was 12.
My first paid software work was at 16, and over 20 years later I haven’t stopped!

About Me
Recovering Public Servant
From 2019-2023, I served my hometown of Shreveport, LA as the city’s first Chief Technology Officer under Mayor Adrian Perkins.
I will always be grateful for the opportunity to give back to my community, but with tongue in cheek, I’m currently recovering from public life and love being able to focus on code and AI.
AI Enthusiast and Practitioner
As soon as ChatGPT took the world by storm in 2023, I knew I had to be a part of it.
My first experience with it was writing a full “Request for Proposal” document under my role in local government (something that typically takes weeks of work, done in minutes).
After that first magical moment, I began dabbling in running AI securely on my own hardware, which has ultimately led me here, helping businesses implement secure, privately hosted AI.
Passionate about Educating
I owe most of my success to mentors - those men and women who took me under their wing and showed me the ropes.
This website is my opportunity to continue that work, and pass along knowledge to those hungry and curious.
My goal is to eliminate much of the mystique around AI and help businesses build secure and integrated tools with a custom AI built for them.
