Our Founder's Story

"I'm Roman, a Jamaican-born land surveyor and self-taught software developer. Thanks to AI, I've created tools that support surveyors, manage data, and help businesses — all without a computer science degree."

"This movement isn't hypothetical. I'm living proof that it's possible. I've built SurveyManagerApp, SurveyPath, FolderCopilot, and multiple other platforms using AI-powered development tools."

"Now, I want to help 10,000 more young people unlock that same power."

Local institutions are outdated and underdigitized

Global Platform
