Four ways I plug in.
Every engagement starts the same way: a paid audit that maps where AI actually pays off in your business. Then we pick the lane.
About
Technologist.
Builder.
Creative.
I studied Computer Information Systems at Georgia State University, where I also played football, focused on application development and cybersecurity. My first job was a cybersecurity analyst role at GSU itself. From there I moved into Solutions Engineering. My first SE role was at Snyk, in application security, then to BeyondTrust where I am now. The technical salesperson who sits between product and customer. I've been doing that at a high level ever since.
But that's always been the day job. The real work has been building. I've loved art my whole life: drawing, design, film, photography, music, every medium. When AI tools started closing the gap between imagination and execution, I was already there. A growing body of AI creative work. Content that has generated over 6 million views across platforms, starting with viral AI art and building toward the systems underneath it.
I got loud about AI early, not because it was trendy, but because I genuinely study psychology, sociology, and innovation. I understand how technology reshapes behavior. The creative work was a Trojan horse: get people watching the visuals, then show them what's possible with the systems and agents underneath. But the horse was real. Art has always been my first language.
Now I'm building Studio West Creatives to deliver both: AI-powered creative production and AI operating systems for businesses that want to scale without losing what makes them human.
Technology
8+ years across cybersecurity, systems design, and enterprise solutions engineering. Currently an Inside SE at BeyondTrust.
Creativity
AI-generated visuals, video production, and brand campaigns at the intersection of art and technology. Work that actually gets people talking.
Commerce
Building AI operating systems and automation workflows that help businesses scale. The tools exist. The gap is implementation.
Philosophy
“AI is a thinking amplifier, not a replacement. The most critical skill right now is synthesizing original ideas from incomplete information. That's what I do.”
Work
What I've Built
Creative production and AI systems work. From spec campaigns for global brands to enterprise automation proposals.
Other Projects
AI Virtual Photo Shoot
Lifelike AI model shoot for a clothing brand's new drop. Full commercial quality, zero studio cost.
College Recruitment App Ad

Web Builds
Sites I've Built
Every site here started with a single image. I used AI tools to expand on it, build out a full asset library, and turn it into a complete web experience. This is what's possible before you ever hire a photographer, videographer, or agency.
Need a site like this?
I build product sites, brand experiences, and landing pages using AI-generated assets and custom development. No templates. No agencies. Reach out to scope your project.
