I’m an AI-Augmented Builder

I don’t write code. I build products using AI as my implementation partner.

My Process

  1. Define the problem - What needs solving?
  2. Design the solution - How should it work for users?
  3. Describe to AI - Claude Code handles implementation
  4. Test with users - Does it actually help?
  5. Iterate quickly - AI makes changes in minutes

Tools I Actually Use

AI Partners:

  • Claude Code: My primary development partner
  • Cursor: When I need to review what AI built
  • ChatGPT: For planning and strategy discussions

Operations & Growth:

  • HubSpot: CRM and marketing automation
  • Zapier & n8n: Workflow automation
  • MailerLite: Email campaigns
  • RevenueCat: Subscription management
  • Looker: Data analytics

Infrastructure:

  • Cloudflare: Security and performance
  • Namecheap & GoDaddy: Domain management
  • Apple App Store Connect: iOS app distribution
  • GitHub: Version control (AI handles the commits)

What This Means

  • No syntax to memorize - I speak in outcomes, not code
  • Faster iteration - Changes in minutes, not days
  • Focus on users - I spend time understanding problems, not debugging
  • Accessibility first - I can focus on making products inclusive

Real Example

Me: "Users with ADHD lose their thoughts before they can write them down. 
     Build a voice capture app that transcribes and organizes their ideas."

Claude: *Creates entire Cleft Notes app*

Me: "Make it work one-handed for accessibility"

Claude: *Refactors the entire interface*

Result: 10,000+ users, Fast Company Best Apps 2024

The Bottom Line

I’m not a “coder” - I’m a builder who uses AI to turn ideas into products that help people. My value isn’t in writing functions; it’s in understanding user needs and designing solutions.

If you need someone who writes code manually, I’m not your person. If you need someone who ships products that solve real problems, let’s talk.
