Demetrius A Thompson
I’m Demetrius Thompson, a builder at heart with a background that spans athletics, technology, small business, and systems design. Everything I create today—apps, web tools, templates, and business resources—comes from hands-on experience solving real problems, not theory.
My foundation started in track and field, where discipline, structure, and incremental improvement were non-negotiable. Track taught me how systems work: preparation, execution, feedback, and adjustment. That mindset never left. Over the years, I’ve remained closely connected to athletics, including coaching and mentoring youth through organizations like JaxPAL, helping athletes develop not only speed and strength, but accountability and long-term focus. Track shaped how I approach every project—measure what matters, fix what’s slow, and keep moving forward.
My education and technical development grew alongside that discipline. I became deeply involved in web development, automation, and software systems, teaching myself how to build tools from the ground up rather than relying on closed platforms. I work primarily with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Python, and server-side systems, focusing on self-hosted solutions that people actually own. I believe tools should be reusable, transparent, and adaptable—not rented indefinitely or locked behind subscriptions.
Professionally, I’ve worked across small business operations, service industries, and digital product development. I’ve run and supported real businesses, including hands-on service work, which gave me a clear understanding of how cash flow, credit, scheduling, and customer systems impact everyday people. That experience directly influenced my work in credit-related tools and templates, where the goal is clarity and documentation—not confusion or dependency.
Over time, my work evolved into building startup-ready tools: web templates, automation systems, AI-assisted workflows, and business utilities designed to help entrepreneurs launch faster and operate smarter. This led to the creation of the Studio1Live ecosystem, which brings together development tools, sales systems, content infrastructure, and credit resources under one roof. Whether it’s a Python automation tool, an AI web builder, or a document template, the philosophy stays the same: build once, own it, and adapt it as you grow.
I’m also deeply invested in education through transparency—sharing how tools work, why they were built, and how people can use them independently. That’s why the Studio1Live blog and product ecosystem focus on explaining systems, not hiding them.
At the core, I’m not just selling products—I’m building infrastructure for independence. Tools that respect time, effort, and ownership. Systems that scale with people, not against them. That approach comes directly from my background in athletics, business, and real-world problem solving—and it continues to guide everything I build today.
My Experience
My name is Demetrius Thompson. I have been a bill collector for over twenty years. I have extensive knowledge in accounts receivables for banks and credit unions and major financial institutions; commercial and residential.
I have also worked in telemarketing, customer service , and sales. I consider my self and expert in any operations with respect to sales, marketing, collections and any other call center platform. I do not consider myself a financial expert, but I have been tested by various banks and credit unions to assure I had competent knowledge of banking laws, regulations, and procedures. It was a job requirement.
One endeavor along my road was the debt management and bill consolidation industry. I have to admit, I was part of that era who made hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt collection, credit repair, and the debt management markets. They all seemed to compliment each other. One of those niche was the credit repair theme, and it seems it wont die. I guess not considering Americas own debt problem and its emphasis on credit. the minds of America is on having good credit. it seems people still have a desire to fix their credit. Prior to the financial meltdown of 2009, a friend of mine mad millions in the credit repair industry. he charged 350$, and even more. Ten years later those fee have increased, but it is not the same as a decade ago.
The Feds started cracking down on the verb-age use because there were a few loopholes in the credit reporting rules and they were being exploited openly. To give you an example; “If you dispute an account the creditor had thirty days to reply to your dispute. If they failed to do so, you could simply write to credit bureau and have the credit item removed. Many companies could not respond, or just would not. It was unclear if they had the structure to respond to such disputes in that time manner, I used to work for some of such companies, and they do not. So no matter if you really owed the debt, it would be removed.
I wanted to give back some of my knowledge. The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act has a term in it; “Least sophisticated consumer” I thought to my self , ‘They want us to assume the consumer is a dummie’, wow! I did know that most consumers did not know the process. I wanted to change that a little and give back some of my extensive knowledge. Browse the entire site and you will learn so much about how banks operate, laws and regulations on bill collections and credit report. I have even loaded a database with letters you can download to send to each creditor or credit bureau. I will show you step by step the process we used to take when cleaning someones credit. You can actually do it your self. no need to pay hundreds to fix your credit. you can do it manually, but downloading the letters and sending them out. They also have online service which try to say they are free, but often try to upsale you something, or you find out it was a trial period and now they are debiting your bank card. You will also learn a little about the banks procedure on that type of transaction.
