From idea to
deployed prototype.
In one day.
A hands-on workshop for aspiring entrepreneurs with little or no technical background. Learn how to use AI-assisted coding to build, secure, and deploy a real product — not a toy demo.
# What People Say
Venn Garage was pleased to host a hands-on AI workshop with Vagmi Mudumbai and Shanthi as part of our AI-assisted product development pathway. The session was designed to help founders move from idea to execution. Participants walked out with a deployed prototype by the end of the day. Feedback from attendees was highly positive, with participants appreciating the workshop’s applied format and the facilitators’ ability to address deep technical questions while guiding non-technical participants with clarity and patience.
# The Problem
You have the idea.
You don't have the engineer.
The coding agent
Do not let your idea die waiting for a technical co-founder. A coding agent is extremely powerful for quickly iterating on an idea. Learn how to weild it effectively to go from concept to code in record time. Build a strong foundation to iterate on your ideas.
Beyond vibe coding
Walk away with workflows and skills that establishes solid engineering principles Without this, what starts as a quick prototype becomes a codebase you can't hand off to real engineers, can't self-host, This workshop teaches you to build on open, portable infrastructure with a clear foundations to hand off to your future CTO or engineering partner.
Security from Day One
The biggest risk of AI-generated code is invisible security holes. You'll learn to build with Clerk for identity and secure your Cloudflare D1 database access from the start.
# What You'll Learn
# The Day
Morning — Foundation
- > Launch a pre-configured GitHub Codespace — zero local setup
- > Define your idea as a buildable spec
- > Identity & Database setup — Clerk and Cloudflare D1
- > Build your first authenticated feature with Claude Code
Afternoon — Build & Ship
- > Cloudflare Workers & D1 — serverless API & SQL
- > Payments integration with Polar.sh
- > Connect frontend to backend with Clerk session tokens
- > Build out your core features using Claude Code
- > Deploy to production — walk away with a live URL
You Leave With
- > A deployed, working prototype with real auth and data
- > A codebase you understand and can keep building on
- > The skill to go from idea to prototype independently
# Who This Is For
Aspiring entrepreneurs who want to validate ideas without waiting for a technical co-founder
Non-technical founders who want to understand what their code does, not just that it works
Product managers and designers who want to prototype their own ideas
Anyone curious about AI-assisted development but unsure where to start
Your Instructor
Vagmi Mudumbai — CTO with 24+ years of experience. I've built platforms in Rust, Go, and TypeScript, scaled teams from zero, and helped startups go from napkin sketch to production.
I use Claude Code daily in my own work. This workshop distills the workflows and patterns I've developed into a single intensive day designed for builders.
