Media & Speaking
Available for podcasts, panels, and speaking engagements on Caribbean tech entrepreneurship, remote work, and building software businesses.
Topics I Speak About
14+ years of building software from Jamaica has given me perspectives on tech entrepreneurship that differ from the Silicon Valley narrative. Here's what I can contribute to conversations:
🌴 Remote Work from the Caribbean
The realities of building a global client base from Jamaica. Timezone advantages, infrastructure challenges, and the arbitrage opportunity.
💰 Charging International Rates
Why Caribbean developers should stop underselling themselves. Value-based pricing, client perception, and building wealth remotely.
🔧 Productizing Client Work
How to turn custom client projects into repeatable products. The journey from freelancer to product creator.
🇯🇲 The Jamaica Tech Ecosystem
What's working, what's missing, and opportunities for the next generation of Jamaican tech entrepreneurs.
🏗️ Building for Local Markets
Creating software for Caribbean businesses. Payment integrations, WhatsApp-first design, and local context.
📈 Scaling Without VC
Growing a software business through revenue, not funding. The bootstrapped approach to sustainable growth.

Speaker Bio
Leroy Alexander is a software developer and tech entrepreneur based in Mandeville, Jamaica. Over 14+ years, he has built a portfolio of "Ezy" branded WordPress plugins serving Caribbean businesses in tour operations, car rentals, micro-lending, and e-commerce.
Working remotely from Jamaica since before remote work was mainstream, Leroy has served clients across the US, UK, Canada, and the Caribbean — earning over $200,000 on Upwork with a 100% job success rate.
His work focuses on solving problems that generic software ignores: Caribbean payment integrations, WhatsApp-first booking systems, and software designed for how local businesses actually operate.
Leroy speaks about remote entrepreneurship, building products for underserved markets, and the opportunities available to developers willing to work outside traditional tech hubs.
Sample Talking Points
Here are examples of topics I've discussed or can contribute to in interviews and panels:
"Why I Stopped Chasing $250/Hour and Started Building Products"
The transition from high-rate consulting to product creation. Trading hours for leverage. Building recurring revenue while serving clients who can't afford hourly rates.
"The Timezone Advantage: Working US Hours from the Caribbean"
Jamaica is EST — the same timezone as New York. This creates an opportunity other offshore regions don't have. Real-time collaboration at non-US prices.
"Building Software for Markets Big Tech Ignores"
Stripe doesn't fully support Jamaica. Generic booking software assumes US payment methods. There's opportunity in solving problems for underserved markets.
"From Upwork to Own Products: The 14-Year Journey"
Starting on freelance platforms, building reputation, transitioning to direct clients, then creating products. The long game of building a sustainable tech business.
