Building in Public

I'm the CEO of AI_First_Company, where we're pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI agents. But more than that, I'm a builder who believes in sharing the entire journey—the wins, the failures, and everything in between.

Currently, I'm working on four major products: PAM (Personal AI Manager), TTLG (Tech Team Leadership Guide), FightNightFantasy, and Overdrafty. Each one is an experiment in building with AI, and I document every step on this channel.

I started coding when I was 12 and never stopped. Now I'm combining my engineering background with AI to build products that actually solve real problems. And I'm doing it all with a team of AI agents.
