Kelly Kampen — [email protected]:~$ whoami

My tech timeline runs backwards.

Most people go junior dev → senior → lead → manager. I did it in reverse: internet pioneer → founder (a few times) → product director → team lead → burnt-out exec → _"wait, let me try coding"_ → solo dev. Yes, backwards. No, I don't regret it.

I was on the Windows 95 launch team before it shipped. I ran nopay.net, handing out free internet on floppy disks. I hand-coded HTML when ` was a flex. For 25 years I was the person describing the feature — never the one building it.

AI-native solo dev. TypeScript · Next.js · React · Convex · Turborepo · Tailwind — with AI tooling as a genuine force multiplier, not a novelty.
