I'm Shawn, a software engineer, platform creator, and event producer from the Caribbean, currently based in Brooklyn. I'm the founder of Code+Vibes, where I develop apps that make people's lives better. With a deep interest in business, digital marketing, design, and community, I thrive at the intersection of technology and culture.
A few years ago, I reconnected with Caribbean music and culture, leading me to create fetelist.com, an aggregator for soca events worldwide. We’ve since produced over 30 events. I also explored cloud-native architectures, using AWS, Firebase, and Docker. Passion projects are my best learning tool.
Over a decade ago, I started a record label with friends from high school. We signed multiple artists, released albums, secured major deals, and even built a studio. The biggest lesson was understanding how people change with success and failure. I’m now writing a book about that journey.
I started at Sony as a contractor, became an employee, and worked my way up to director, managing developers across time zones. It was one of the best experiences of my life, thanks to the Drupal community, which led me there after I began using it to simplify my own CMS development.
