From Zero to Deploy: Building with AI at Terminal Velocity

Six months ago, I'd never written a line of code. Today, I build production-ready web apps and terminal tools—proving that AI doesn't replace developers, it creates them. Former Program Analyst turned Full Stack Prompt Engineer, combining strategic architecture thinking with Claude Code velocity.

Claude Code
Development Partner
Full Stack
Engineer Type

I spent years as a Program Analyst, architecting IT systems and translating requirements into technical specs—but I never wrote the code. Six months ago, that changed. With Claude Code as my pair programmer, I went from zero coding experience to shipping production applications.

My background isn't traditional. I was an EA beta tester for Command & Conquer, achieving top 10 global rankings. That gaming experience taught me something crucial: complex systems are puzzles waiting to be solved. Build orders, resource optimization, split-second strategic decisions—these translate directly to software architecture, state management, and real-time system design.

I call myself a Full Stack Prompt Engineer not as a joke, but as a philosophy. I embrace AI-assisted development because it lets me focus on what I'm best at: understanding problems, designing architectures, and shipping solutions. Claude Code handles the syntax gymnastics while I handle the strategy.

My technical interests gravitate toward what I call "power user tools"—terminal UIs built with Go/Bubbletea, browser-based development environments with xterm.js integration, real-time collaborative apps. I love the terminal aesthetic because it strips away the noise and reveals the structure underneath.

This portfolio showcases 45+ projects built in six months. Some are rough experiments. Others are production-ready. All of them represent a belief that the best time to start building is now, and the best tools are the ones that multiply your velocity—whether that's AI, the command line, or both.
