Hi, I'm JJ!
These days I work in AI as a Manager, AI Enablement and Education. My job is to help people actually use AI, not just hear about it. I've led 30+ workshops for leading AI labs like Anthropic and others, and I help Fortune 500 companies plan and roll out their AI transformation. It's the same mission I've always had, just with much bigger tools.
Before this, I spent an incredible chapter at Softr. When I started, 300,000 people were using the platform to build apps. Twenty-one months later, that number hit over a million. I built certification programs, ran bootcamps, and filmed countless tutorials. But the growth that mattered most wasn't in the metrics - it was watching non-technical folks realize they could create real software.
What I learned is that everyone has ideas worth building - they just need the right tools and someone who believes they can do it. AI has made that truer than ever. That's what drives me: helping more people go from "I wish I could build this" to "I can't believe I built this." Because once someone realizes they can create their own solutions, everything changes.
What I'm About
I'm a builder and educator who gets genuinely excited about making technology accessible. I have a knack for taking complex technical stuff and explaining it in ways that actually click. Most of my free time still goes to building with AI - not because I have to, but because I can't help myself. I've built 20+ projects in the last 6 months just for fun. I also host a weekly podcast on NoCode and the state of AI, and I write about what I'm learning on my Substack.
Some quick hits from my journey:
What I'm Looking For
To be clear: I'm not looking for my next role. I'm happily building as a Manager, AI Enablement and Education, and I love what I do. What I am always looking for is great people to learn from, teach, and build with.
I thrive when I can:
- • Experiment with cutting-edge tech (currently obsessed with AI coding)
- • Help others level up their AI skills
- • Turn big AI goals into real wins for teams
- • Collaborate with passionate people who love what they're building
- • Teach a room (or a screen) full of curious builders
Whether you want a hands-on AI workshop, a guest for your podcast, or a builder to swap ideas with on something that makes you think "wait, we can do that?" - I'd love to hear from you.
I bring energy, ownership, and a track record of figuring things out. Plus, I'm a great filmmaker with a following of 30,000+ across channels.
If you think there's magic to be made, let's hop on a call. I'd love to hear what you're building.
