Espas.dev is the platform where Haitian developers, founders, designers, and operators come together to launch startups, contribute to open source, and build AI-powered solutions that move Haiti forward.
Lakay and across the diaspora. One graph. One movement. One future.

The gap
Haiti has the talent. What we have lacked is coordination.
Across Haiti and the diaspora, brilliant builders are still too often working in isolation. Skills stay invisible. Serious collaborators are hard to find. Great ideas struggle to become companies, and public-interest solutions struggle to find sustained technical momentum.
Builders can’t find each other
Talent is distributed, but the map is blank. Potential partners are one connection away but invisible to each other.
Execution gets fragmented
Dozens of teams solve the same problems in silos, duplicating effort instead of building on shared foundations.
Opportunity leaks out of the system
Without a central coordination layer, high-potential projects die due to lack of mentorship, capital, or talent.
The answer
Espas.dev is the coordination layer for Haitian tech.
We are not building another passive social network. We are building the digital operating system for Haiti’s tech ecosystem: one place to build reputation, find aligned collaborators, organize work, launch products, and contribute to something bigger than yourself.
The Digital Atelier
A sun-drenched, collaborative workshop for builders.
Live signal
See what Haiti’s builders are shipping.
Real projects. Real contributions. The feed shows what is actually being built, reviewed, and learned across the graph, not just what people claim.
Why this matters
Shipped products become visible social proof.
Code review, commits, and tactical learnings stay in circulation.
Reputation starts compounding from real work, not self-description.

Auth middleware refactored after the bug fix. Thanks to @reginetdev for the review pass. JWT rotation is working and latency is down 40%.

Supabase RLS plus composite columns gives us row-level tenant isolation without blowing up the schema. Logging this TIL before it disappears into chat.

Why this matters
This is bigger than networking.
Espas.dev exists because Haiti has a rare opportunity window in front of it. AI has changed the speed of execution. Small, focused teams can now build products and systems at a pace that was previously impossible.
If Haitian builders move together, we can create companies, tools, and infrastructure that generate wealth and solve real problems at the same time.

Ambition & Resp.
High goals with local accountability.
Exec. & Impact

Open Source for Haiti
A continual initiative to build useful solutions for Haiti.
Open Source for Haiti is our commitment to keep building tools that help Haitian workers, Haitian businesses, Haitian communities, and Haitian institutions. Not as a one-time campaign, but as a continuous operating principle.
- Software that lowers the cost of doing business
- Tools that improve access, efficiency, and opportunity
- Shared infrastructure that future builders can build on
- AI-powered systems that help Haiti leap forward
