I'm an educator turned builder. I taught guitar online to over 700,000 subscribers, then the AI wave hit and I threw myself in. Now I build web apps, automations and AI-powered tools for real people.
Acodi is where that work lives. If you'd like to work together, get in touch.

Builder. Teacher. Curious by nature.
For fifteen years I've been teaching guitar online. The Goliath Guitar Tutorials YouTube channel grew from nothing to over 700,000 subscribers, built through consistency, care for learners and a genuine love of making complex things accessible.
Over the past two years I've thrown myself into AI and automation, self-taught and moving fast. I consider myself at the forefront of this wave, not as a passenger, but as someone actively building with the tools as they emerge.
Acodi is named for the acorn. From small acorns, great oaks grow. That's the philosophy here. I build web apps, automation systems, and AI-powered tools. The stack is real, and it's in daily use.
Teaching is still at the core of what drives me. Making complex things approachable — whether that's a guitar chord or a production-grade AI system, is where the fulfilment comes from.
