Self-taught since 13. Sold my first software company at 16 for $60K, the second for mid-six figures. Founded ventures since — some worked, some didn't. The failures taught more.

Currently founding developer at PodFirst, building tools for podcast creators.

• commitreview — open source AI code review as a GitHub Action, and a self-hostable answer to Codex cloud review. Reads your whole codebase rather than just the diff, then tries to disprove everything it finds before it opens its mouth. Bring your own key, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, no service in the middle.
• fusion — local fusion model provider. OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints, routing to a single model or a panel of models aggregated by a judge. Works with Claude Code.
• media-understanding — teaching machines to actually watch and listen, not just transcribe.
• CodeThenShip — free community where I teach coding by shipping real projects. AI is coming for vibe coders. Don't be one. Learn to actually build.
• dylans.link — personal site with in-browser text-to-speech, embeddings-based blog search, its own MCP server, and a live portfolio tracker. Over-built on purpose.

TypeScript and Node, Next.js and React. Elixir when it fits, Rust when it's fun. Local LLMs, MCP, FFmpeg media pipelines. Deploys are SSH and Docker. No Kubernetes.
