Joe Sleeman is a software architect, entrepreneur, and author with more than 30 years of experience building technology, products, and businesses. His work sits at the intersection of creativity, systems thinking, and artificial intelligence—focusing less on tools and tactics, and more on how people think, decide, and create in an increasingly automated world. Over his career, Joe has founded and led multiple software companies, designed cloud-based platforms used globally, and helped creators and organizations turn ideas into sustainable systems. His writing reflects that same philosophy: creativity is not inspiration alone, but something that can be designed, structured, and refined. Through his books and toolkits, Joe explores AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a thinking partner—one that amplifies clarity, intention, and long-term vision. His work is for builders who want to create thoughtfully, sustainably, and on their own terms.
