Roman - Founder of JamStart

Meet Our Founder

Roman is a Jamaican-born land surveyor turned self-taught software developer. His journey began when he realized that AI tools could help him build the software solutions he needed for his surveying work—without a computer science degree.

After successfully creating multiple platforms including SurveyManagerApp, SurveyPath, and FolderCopilot, Roman recognized that AI had fundamentally changed who could build software. This realization sparked the vision for JamStart.

"I'm living proof that AI has democratized software development. Now I want to help 10,000 more young Caribbean people unlock that same power and transform our region's economy."
