I’ll teach you to use Claude Code to:
- Build and ship mobile apps (iOS & Android) to app stores
- Extract and transform data from any source
- Connect APIs and automate workflows
- Create prototypes and MVPs without hiring developers
- Analyze data and gain insights for better decisions
You don’t need to be a programmer. You just need the right guide who’s been building software for 30+ years and knows how to translate AI power into practical results.
What I’ll Teach You
This isn’t theory. This is hands-on, practical skills that will have you shipping real work within weeks:
1. Installation & Workflow Setup
- Get Claude Code running on your machine (Mac, Windows, Linux)
- Set up your development environment the right way
- Learn the terminal basics you actually need (not the overwhelming stuff)
- Configure Claude Code to work with your specific tools and workflows
2. Extract & Transform Data
- Pull data from websites, APIs, spreadsheets, databases
- Clean messy data and make it useful
- Automate reports that used to take you hours
- Build dashboards that update themselves
3. Use APIs Like a Pro
- Connect to any service: Google Sheets, Airtable, Stripe, you name it
- Build integrations between your tools
- Automate workflows that span multiple platforms
- Never copy-paste data between systems again
4. Build & Ship Real Apps
- Create mobile apps (iOS and Android)
- Deploy web applications
- Submit to App Store and Google Play
- Go from idea to production in weeks, not months
5. Gain Insights & Automate Your Job
- Analyze data to make better decisions
- Build prototypes as the CEO or PM of your product
- Automate repetitive tasks so you can focus on strategy
- Use AI to do the heavy lifting while you steer
Who This Is For
- Entrepreneurs who have ideas but can’t code
- Product managers who want to prototype without waiting for engineers
- Analysts who are tired of manual data work
- Small business owners who need custom tools but can’t afford developers
- Anyone who’s curious and ready to learn something powerful
You don’t need a computer science degree. You just need to be willing to learn and experiment.
My Teaching Style
I’ve tutored 100+ students with a perfect 5.0 rating. Here’s what they say:
> “Five sessions with Tony and my son went from failing his first midterm to ending the quarter with a solid A. Tony was knowledgeable and flexible with his schedule. He went above and beyond to help him actually understand the material.” – Kim
> “Tony didn’t just fix problems, but taught our son how to think through them on his own. He helped him build his business website from the ground up, worked through debugging errors step by step, and explained coding concepts in a way that actually made sense and boosted his confidence.” – Pam
> “Tony took the time to thoroughly explain the concepts to me before moving on. He asked meaningful questions that helped me identify issues I encountered with my project and find solutions. I would not have completed my project successfully without Tony’s help.” – Kaelyn

Real Skills, Real Results
After working with me, students have:
- Built mobile apps and launched them to app stores
- Automated their entire reporting workflows
- Created data pipelines that save 10+ hours per week
- Built prototypes that got funded by investors
- Shipped MVPs without hiring a development team
This isn’t magic. It’s Claude Code + focused instruction + your willingness to learn.
My Background
- UC Berkeley Computer Science
- 30+ years as a software engineer
- Former Yahoo engineer (built systems for millions of users)
- Yahoo! Super Star Award recipient (2011) for designing backend publishing platforms and leading solution architecture teams
- Former Splunk engineer
- Technical Partners – AI-era development team (current)
- 365+ hours of tutoring experience
- 5.0 rating across 103 student reviews
I’ve worked on everything from large-scale web systems to mobile apps to data infrastructure. More importantly, I know how to translate complex technical concepts into plain English that actually makes sense.
Now I’m semi-retired in Hawaii, exploring AI applications and helping people learn to build with Claude Code. I’ve seen the entire evolution of software development – from the early web days at Yahoo to today’s AI-assisted development. This is the most exciting time to learn to build software.

FAQ
Q: I’m not technical at all. Can I really do this? A: Yes. I’ve taught complete beginners to ship production apps. If you can use a computer and follow instructions, you can learn this.
Q: How long until I can build something real? A: In the first session, you’ll have working code. Within 4-6 sessions, most students are building their own projects independently.
Q: What do I need to get started? A: A computer (Mac, Windows, or Linux), internet connection, and willingness to learn. I’ll guide you through installing everything else.
Q: Do I need to learn to code? A: Not in the traditional sense. You’ll learn to direct Claude Code to write code for you. You’ll understand what’s happening, but you won’t be writing it from scratch.
Q: Can Claude Code really build production-ready apps? A: Absolutely. I use it every day for real projects. It can build mobile apps, web apps, APIs, automation scripts, data pipelines – anything you can imagine.
Running has taught me something important: you don’t have to be the fastest to finish the race. You just have to keep moving forward.
The same is true for building with Claude Code. You don’t need to be a genius. You just need a guide who’s been there before and knows the route.
Let’s build something together.
