One-Day Workshop

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.

# 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

⌘ Claude Code Fundamentals
Set up your development environment and learn how to have a productive conversation with Claude Code — prompting, iterating, and reviewing generated code.
🔒 Clerk & Cloudflare D1
Implement secure authentication with Clerk and a relational SQL database with Cloudflare D1. Learn to model your data for scale.
⚡ Cloudflare Workers
Deploy serverless API endpoints to the edge. Learn why this stack gives you global performance with zero infrastructure management.
💬 From Prompt to Product
Translate your startup idea into a working specification that Claude Code can execute. Learn the art of breaking features into buildable units.
💰 Payments with Polar.sh
Integrate monetization from day one. Learn how to set up subscriptions and digital products using Polar.sh's developer-first platform.
🛡 Security & Auth Patterns
Token validation, role-based access, and secure API design. The patterns that keep your prototype safe enough for real users on day one.
🚀 Ship It
Deploy your prototype to production. Walk away with a live URL, a codebase you understand, and the confidence to keep iterating.

# The Day

AM

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
PM

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
END

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.

# Prerequisites

  • 01 A laptop with a browser — everything runs in GitHub Codespaces
  • 02 A GitHub account (for Codespaces)
  • 03 A Claude Pro or Team subscription (for Claude Code access)
  • 04 A Clerk account (free tier is fine)
  • 05 A Polar.sh account
  • 06 A Cloudflare account (free tier is fine)
  • 07 No prior coding experience required

Build your first product in a day.

Stop waiting for a technical partner. Start building your own ideas with the power of AI-assisted coding.
