The itch to build never went away.
I started as a developer, solving problems in code.
Then I led people: bigger teams, bigger problems, outcomes at scale. Every step took me further from the keyboard and closer to strategy and execution.
That was the job.
But I wasn’t going to spend my weekends writing Excel macros and VBA. 😄
Then came AI. Then came Claude. And suddenly I could build again, without becoming a full-time developer again.
So I’m back.
