BIO
I'm building Codebuff — the CLI tool that writes code for you. Previously, I founded Manifold Markets, a site with 150,000 user-created prediction markets that gets millions of views per month. I'll be applying lessons learned from growing a consumer app for nerds (Manifold) to growing Codebuff, a dev tool for software nerds. I bring passion and intensity to my work. With Codebuff, I've jumped into a new field, AI code generation, and built something state of the art within a couple months.
