How I Got Here
No CS degree. No bootcamp. Just relentless building with AI as my teacher.
The False Start
Tried learning to code with ChatGPT. Built stuff that looked right but broke in production. Fiverr devs wanted $5K for what I envisioned. I knew there had to be a better way.
The Pivot
Launched my first real website. Started blogging. Discovered Claude + Cursor combo. Suddenly, the code actually worked. Started shipping daily.
The Explosion
3 months of building every single day. Workers, APIs, CRM systems, valuation engines, dashboards. Publicly challenged Opendoor — they saw it, stayed silent. So I open-sourced my alternative.
"We challenged Opendoor to explain their algorithm. Someone from their corporate pricing team viewed our post. Complete silence. So we reverse-engineered it ourselves."
— The moment I knew transparency was the edge
AI as Co-Founder
Claude isn't my autocomplete — it's my technical co-founder. Every error is a lesson. Every build gets faster. I ship in days what used to take months.
Transparency Wins
While competitors hide their algorithms, I publish mine. Open-source valuation engine. Consumer protection tools. The opposite of iBuyer playbooks.
