I'm the CTO & Co-Founder of Snapbar, where we've built an AI-native platform for experiential photo and video marketing at live events, used by some of the world's largest brands, including Disney, Nike, Coca-Cola, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and FIFA.
I share what I learn as I build. My YouTube channel has 23,000+ subscribers and over a million views, and my open-source Claude Code workflows have 3,900+ stars on GitHub.
At Snapbar, the products I've built since 2020 have generated eight figures in revenue, and in 2023 I was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 Seattle. Before Snapbar, I co-founded DubHacks, now the Pacific Northwest's largest collegiate hackathon, and was an engineer at two venture-backed San Francisco startups that were later acquired.
The questions I keep coming back to: How far can AI multiply what one engineer ships? What does a capital-efficient unicorn with fewer than 20 people look like? And how do we systematically equip the next generation of leaders along the way? That last one comes from my faith as much as from DubHacks.
I'm also a Resident Expert at AI House (AI2 Incubator) and a member of Foundations Seattle.

Now
I share the AI workflows I'm using, what's working, and what I'm still figuring out.
The system my team uses to let Claude Code and Codex run for hours without us: context, tools, workflows, and verification, with templates to copy and a 30-day plan to build it.
I spoke at the Seattle Foundations Vibe Coding workshop in March, sharing the best strategies and workflows I have found for using AI CodeGen tools (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Bolt, Lovable, and more) to dramatically speed up our development process.
Exactly 10 years ago this month, a group of friends from UW and I witnessed a wild dream of ours come roaring to life. We initially set out to bring all of our smartest, most ambitious, most energetic friends together for an epic night of hacking on cool projects and connecting with each other.
