Experiments with vibe coding and AI agents as a non-coder
I don't write code, but I'm building software anyway. This is where I share what I'm learning.
I send a regular email with all my latest experiments, learnings, tips and hacks.
Hey, I'm Kieran
I come from a non-technical background and tried to learn to code — and failed. Discovering no-code changed everything. Since then, I've spent 3,000+ hours building with Bubble, launching and experimenting with SaaS products, and going from "I can't build this" to shipping real software on my own.
Now I'm continuing that journey with vibe coding and AI agents, exploring how far non-technical builders can push software creation. Through NoCodeLife, I share practical case studies and strategies for non-technical 9-to-5ers who want to build real software businesses.
