Delisa Payne

I've always been into tech since I was younger. I remember getting my first computer and I took it apart when I first got it. I'm a self-taught coder who taught myself 6 different coding languages. My background is in mechanical engineering - when I first got out of high school, I went to Tennessee State for mechanical engineering. Then I taught myself how to code once I started having my children and I realized they were special needs, so I went into entrepreneurship to take care of my girls. I handle day-to-day operations and build mobile apps that are customized all the way from the idea perspective from our clients, and I handle everything all the way to launching to the app from the Apple and Android Google Play stores. I also handle the initial marketing and build the landing pages to get the initial launch shared to the customer's audience. My business partner Christopher Johnson and I have been working together for 9 years, and we've gone through ups and downs together and worked through a lot of challenges when it comes to a smaller city together. We've really worked hard together to get where we are today.
