Ian Patrick Hines
I've spent 15 years building digital infrastructure for political campaigns — starting as a NationBuilder Expert in 2013, then running my own shop serving state parties, Senate campaigns, and international elections across three continents.
That work evolved into SaaS. I built the SMS and email systems behind 8-figure political fundraising operations, and launched DoNotContact to help consumers opt out of the fundraising spam.
These days I'm building with AI agents. Claude Code runs my dev workflow — I manage a fleet of autonomous assistants that ship code while I sleep.
I write about what I'm building on 𝕏. If you're working on similar problems, say hello.
