AI Builder & Product Maker
Philipp Schaefer
I build Generative AI products, full-stack apps, and MVPs — working exclusively with AI coding agents to ship from idea to launch.
About Me
I'm an AI-native builder, not a traditional software engineer. I work exclusively with AI coding agents — Claude Code, Kiro, and similar tools — to design, build, and ship Generative AI products, full-stack apps, and MVPs from idea to launch.
I don't have a computer science degree. My background is anything but conventional: I've worked across hospitality, customer experience, and tech, and I taught myself to build real products by pairing with AI agents. That mix means I care as much about the customer and the outcome as I do about the technology.
This way of working lets me move fast — turning ideas into working software in days, not months — while staying focused on what actually matters to the business.
Today I work as a freelance AI builder, creating agents, mobile and web apps, and automated workflows for startups and companies through my studio, Fusion Web & App Solutions.
