From Bootcamp Founder to AI-Powered Builder

I've been building software for over 15 years. I ran a coding bootcamp in San Francisco for five years, teaching hundreds of people how to code from scratch. I've started and scaled multiple businesses. I know what it takes to build something real — and I know how painful it is when software takes forever and costs a fortune.

A couple of years ago, everything changed. AI tools matured to the point where I could do in weeks what used to take months. Not shortcuts. Not half-baked prototypes. Full-stack, production-ready applications — designed, coded, and tested with AI handling the heavy lifting while I directed the architecture and strategy.

I didn't just theorize about this. I proved it. I built a custom power dialer that replaced (and outperformed) a $30k/year SaaS tool. I built an AI-powered blog engine that writes, optimizes, and publishes SEO content autonomously. I built a reading education app with 50 lessons, dozens of activities, and hundreds of audio files — an app my wife and I use every day to teach our kids to read.

These weren't side projects. These are tools running real businesses and serving real families right now.

After building these for myself and seeing what was possible, I started building for other companies — and the reaction was the same every time: “Wait, you built this in how long? For how much?”

That's why I started Built In Weeks. Because every business deserves custom software that actually fits how they work — and nobody should have to wait six months or spend six figures to get it.
