Co-founder @egghead · Education at Vercel · Building Badass Courses

I build tools for people who teach developers. The platform I create powers courses from world-class educators:

| | | | --------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | AI Hero | Matt Pocock's AI engineering course — prompt engineering, evals, RAG, agents | | Epic AI | Kent C. Dodds on architecting intelligent experiences with MCP | | Total TypeScript | The industry standard for learning TypeScript |

Currently Obsessed With

• AI-assisted development — not vibe coding, but structured multi-agent workflows that actually ship
• MCP & agent architecture — how applications expose capabilities to AI
• Next.js + RSC — server components, streaming, caching, the whole beautiful mess

Open Source

| Project | What It Does | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | course-builder | The platform behind all the courses above | | opencode-swarm-plugin | Multi-agent swarm coordination with learning capabilities | | opencode-config | My OpenCode setup — commands, tools, agents, knowledge |
