Stop waiting for a technical co-founder.Own your code.
A 10-week programme for founders and vibe coders who want to genuinely build, deploy and run their own web app — with AI as their development partner. High-code. Real architecture. Shipped to production.
AI got you 60% of the way. The rest is real.
Your prototype won't leave localhost
You've vibecoded something that works on your laptop. But domains, DNS, SSL, auth and payments are a wall you can't see over.
AI keeps breaking your own code
One prompt fixes a bug, the next unravels something else. Without real architecture in your head, every session is a coin flip.
You're waiting for someone else
Cold-emailing technical co-founders. Overpaying agencies. Watching your idea sit still while other people ship theirs.
Not a practice build. A live web app.
By week 10 you have a real, deployed application on your own domain — with auth, payments and monitoring — and the architectural understanding to keep building it.
A real full-stack app
React + TypeScript on the front, Node + Express + MongoDB on the back. Not a Bolt export, not a walled prototype — code you own end to end.
Live on your own domain
Buy the domain, configure DNS and SSL, deploy to a real host on Railway, wire GitHub Actions CI/CD. Push to main, ship to production.
Auth that actually works
Sign-up, login, protected routes, sessions. Clerk integrated cleanly so real users can sign in from day one.
Payments live
Stripe wired in end-to-end. Subscriptions, one-off charges, webhooks — your app can take money before the cohort ends.
AI as your dev partner
Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot used the way senior devs use them — with conventions, guardrails and a CLAUDE.md that keeps AI on-rails.
Production hygiene
Sentry monitoring, backups, disaster recovery, security basics. The unsexy stuff that keeps a real app from falling over.
Every lesson, mapped out

Test the idea, choose the stack, scope an MVP you can actually ship in 10 weeks.
- Validating your idea and finding a niche
- Choosing a tech stack for a solo builder
- MVP scoping and tradeoffs
- How the layers of a web application fit together
Work with Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot as a genuine development partner, not a code generator.
- AI coding foundations and prompting
- Advanced AI coding workflows and CLAUDE.md conventions
- Catching and correcting AI mistakes
- Using AI for DevOps and infrastructure tasks
The core of a modern web app — React + TypeScript on the front, Node + Express + MongoDB on the back.
- React + TypeScript, TanStack Router & Query
- Node + Express APIs, MongoDB + Mongoose
- Forms, validation and data persistence
- Authentication with Clerk, filtering, sorting and pagination
Domains, DNS, SSL, CI/CD, monitoring, backups and payments — the parts most tutorials skip.
- Railway deploys and PaaS trade-offs
- GitHub Actions CI/CD and security best practices
- Sentry monitoring, backups and disaster recovery
- Stripe payments integration
Builders, not spectators.
This is a genuine, high-code programme. It's not a no-code tour and it's not a "learn to code" bootcamp aimed at a junior dev job. It's for people who want to ship their own product.
- Founders with a product or idea who want to build it themselves instead of hiring a dev team
- Vibe coders who've been shipping with AI and want to genuinely understand the architecture underneath
- Anyone who wants to ship something real — with auth, payments and real hosting — entirely on their own
The paths this opens
Build and ship your own product without hiring a dev team. Move from idea to a live, paying application on your own terms.
Run a portfolio of small SaaS products yourself — you own the code, the infrastructure and the roadmap.
Bring genuine engineering credibility to a co-founding team. Read, review and ship real code, not just talk to developers.
