Software Engineer / firstprompt

Software engineer with 6 years of experience. At 29, I left my job in automotive development and self-taught my way into a career as an IT engineer.

After working at startups, I now work as a freelancer for multiple companies while developing and running firstprompt.

My main focus is frontend, but I handle backend and infrastructure when needed. I love clean, simple design.

Why I built this site

In the past couple of years, AI has gotten incredibly powerful. Honestly, I haven't written much code by hand in the last year. I give instructions to AI, and AI writes the code. That's just how development works now.

In other words, the barrier of "I can't code, so I can't build" has almost disappeared.

But I keep seeing people online saying "I want to build something, but I don't know where to start." Some have tried but run into security issues or design pitfalls.

I thought: if I can show people the right way from the start, more people can confidently start building. That's why I created this site.

To you, the reader

Building with AI might sound intimidating.

Sure, there's a learning curve at first. But once you build one thing — a website, a bot, anything — it starts to click. You get that feeling of "Oh, so that's how it works."

I hope this site can be the push you need to take that first step.
