Experiments with vibe coding and AI agents as a non-coder
I don't write code, but I'm building software anyway. This is where I share what I'm learning.
I send a regular email with all my latest experiments, learnings, tips and hacks.
Hey, I'm Kieran
My background is in product design, startups, and business - not traditional software engineering. That turned out to be a superpower. I think like a founder, design like a product person, and leverage modern AI development tools to ship faster than most traditional dev teams.
I've spent 10+ years in product development, launched 20+ SaaS products, and built apps used by tens of thousands of people. Now I combine that experience with vibe coding and AI agents to build and ship at a pace that would have been impossible just a couple of years ago.
Through NoCodeLife, I share practical case studies and strategies for non-traditional builders who want to create real software businesses.
Need an app built? Let's talk.
I design and build apps for founders and businesses. Product thinking, beautiful UX, and fast delivery - all from one person.
