From reading by kerosene lamp in Gaspard, Haiti, to building software with AI.
Johnny Jean-Baptiste was born in 1968 in Gaspard, a village in Haiti’s Northwest without electricity. His book, From Rural Haiti to AI, connects that childhood with a life of education, banking, entrepreneurship, and learning to build with AI assistants.

He holds three bachelor’s degrees from Florida Atlantic University and an MBA from Nova Southeastern University, and is completing a Doctor of Business Administration in Finance at Liberty University. He lives in South Florida with his wife, Rosemarie.
