About Wayne Parris
Originally from Washington, D.C., and currently operating from the global tech frontier of Ho Chi Minh City, Wayne Parris is a self-taught "vibe coder" and the founder of ACE Apps. His mission is built on a provocative reality of the modern era: in a world of advanced AI and low-code shifts, the ability to solve a problem is no longer gatekept by a computer science degreeāit belongs to those who understand human needs.
Through ACE Apps, Wayne develops affordable, practical SaaS solutions designed specifically for the small-to-midsized business sector, a market often priced out by enterprise-grade software. His flagship product, Optimus SEO, was born from his commitment to providing accessible, cross-industry reporting tools for businesses that need results without the enterprise price tag.
Operating from Vietnam allows Wayne an objective "outside-in" perspective on the U.S. market, enabling him to identify and fill digital voids with agility. While currently focused on high-utility SaaS applications, he is scaling ACE Apps toward a future of sophisticated, agentic AI product suites, ensuring that the next generation of technology remains useful, intuitive, and within reach for everyday users.
