↳ About

Hey, I'm Brooke.

¶ The short version

I'm Brooke — Staff PM at Robinhood by day, builder of stuff by night. I've always been obsessed with crafting products. For years I kept a running list in my Notes app of things I wished existed.

Then Claude Code came along, and suddenly I could actually build them. brooke-builds-stuff is what happens when that list meets a long weekend and a good playlist.

¶ How I build

I vibe code. That means I start with a problem, open Claude Code, and build until it's shipped — usually in a single weekend. No PRDs, no sprints, no Jira tickets. Just an idea, a terminal, and a good playlist.

My process is simple: get annoyed by something, sketch a solution in my head, and then pair-program with Claude until it's real. The PM in me handles the "what," the "why," and sets the taste bar. Claude handles the rest.

Every app in the suite was built this way. Some took an evening. Some took a weekend. A few sent me down rabbit holes I'm still not entirely sure I've climbed out of. No regrets though.
