Mark Hallam
Builder. Maker. Teacher.
I build real products with AI and teach others how to do the same.
I'm a solo builder based in Australia, shipping live products using AI as my development partner. I don't write code in the traditional sense — I describe what I want to build, iterate on the output, and ship.
LunarPDF, a complete PDF editor, was built in 2 days. This website was built entirely through conversation with Claude. Curble, an AI health platform, is in active development. Every project is proof that the barriers to building have collapsed.
Philosophy
I believe we're in the early days of a fundamental shift. The ability to build software is no longer gated by technical skill, capital, or connections. It's gated by clarity of thought and willingness to ship.
My mission is to help people realise this. If you can describe an idea clearly, you can build it. Not in theory — in practice, today, with tools that already exist.
This isn't about replacing developers. It's about empowering everyone else. The world has more good ideas than it has people to build them. AI closes that gap.
Current Focus
- Shipping Curble (AI-powered health tracking)
- Building this website as proof of the AI builder workflow
- Developing the Learn to Build curriculum
- Writing about the solo builder journey
