The Mission Behind the Code
I'm Joseph Defendre — but you can call me Dre. From my beginnings in Haiti, to serving in the Army, to building AI tools for veterans — I've always been about service, growth, and legacy.
Today, I help startups and mission-driven people turn ideas into software that works. My goal? To build tools that mean something.
