West III

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, 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.
