I'm Travis, a staff engineer with ~20 years building software. Eleven months ago I started building Flywheel — an AI workflow automation platform. Solo. Evenings and weekends.
Today the codebase is 325,000 lines of production code. 702 commits. Three services (Go backend, Next.js frontend, Python AI agent), 14 integrations, full CI/CD, Terraform infrastructure. Enterprise-grade auth, billing, monitoring — the works.
I didn't mass-generate code. I didn't skip tests. I wrote a real system that I'm shipping to real users. Here's how.
The Stats
Let's get specific. These are real numbers, not estimates.
