The Journey
Key milestones from advertising to AI
Built my first chatbot with ChatGPT as my guide. Zero coding knowledge, just following instructions. Used TextEdit on Mac to write code!
Key Lesson
ChatGPT can guide you through code you don't understand. Just start building.
Launched AI podcast generator after ~6 months of building. 10+ Cloud Run microservices, real users.
Key Lesson
Ship something real. Imperfect but live beats perfect but theoretical.
Rebuilt entire blog backend with Supabase, pgvector embeddings, and Ask Sydney RAG chat using Claude Code.
Key Lesson
Claude Code turned a solo dev into a team. Four days for what used to take weeks.
Credentials & Recognition
Books written, awards judged, and recognitions earned along the way.
