About Teddy
I've been in tech since 2000 — most of it in SaaS and PaaS startups, wearing whatever hat the moment called for: developer, architect, product manager, engineering director. These days I'm a principal applied AI engineer in finance, designing and shipping AI systems in a space where the stakes are real.
A year ago I started Vibe Academy, because I got tired of all the gatekeeping and hand-waving that surrounds AI. I think AI fluency will decide who gets to participate in the new economy, and I want to teach anyone who's willing to learn. I grew up outside DC, live in Nashville now, and spend my free time doing BJJ and playing guitar.
Background
- Creator and maintainer of the Gemba Flow product harness

What attendees say
“Teddy is such a patient and detailed instructor. He really helps you understand the concepts (especially if non technical). I would love to attend more! He literally wants to see your project come to life before doing anything else. I can't wait til the next session or hackathon!”
