I spent 15 years as a DevOps Project Manager in enterprise software — managing teams, running standups, navigating corporate politics. I was good at it. But I kept watching AI get better and thinking: why am I managing people when I could be managing machines?

In 2026, I quit. No safety net. No co‑founder. Just a Mac Studio, a Claude Max subscription, and a bet that one person with the right AI stack could outpace a funded startup.

I built OpenClaw — my own orchestration layer for managing AI agents. Then I pointed those agents at real problems. They write code, run QC, handle deployments, post content, and file their own bug reports. I set direction, review output, and ship.

Today I run 10+ products with zero employees. The agents ship code at 3 AM. They don't need PTO. And they're getting better every week.
