6 months ago I left big tech to build Festa. 2 years ago I didn’t even have an idea. Here’s the unfiltered story of how it all started 👇

Two years in the making. In 2024 I started building Festa with a simple idea: what if an AI could coordinate an entire event from start to finish, answering every question, managing every guest, just like a real person? Today, that idea became reality. The world’s first

Day 33 of building AI Event Coordination 🚀 Today, the world’s first AI-coordinated wedding took place in Colorado. 💍 I monitored the dashboards all day — zero issues, 100 % success rate. Festa handled nearly 400 guest queries across 40 attendees. Some guests even thought they

The craziest part about today wasn’t that the AI worked. It’s that some guests forgot it was AI.

The wedding’s over. The AI ran the show. No crashes. No chaos. Guests messaged Festa like it was a human concierge. The future of coordination just quietly happened.

AI is only impressive when it moves atoms, not just words. Festa is where tokens meet tables and timelines. Guests, vendors, schedules, all in sync.

10 months ago, Festa was just a prompt on my laptop. Today, it just finished coordinating a real wedding. Zero press. Zero ads. Just code, conviction, and caffeine.

This is why fitness is so pivotal to my life. Everything not only looks better, but your body is literally superhuman compared to others. It's a feeling just like any drug you can get. Just healthy and with everlasting benefits.

The cracks in the AI gold rush are starting to show. This piece on @cluely nails what a lot of people in the industry are quietly worried about: inflated metrics, shallow integrations, and hype > honesty. https://t.co/1Cu6fvoSHN

Wi-Fi made events connected. Festa will make them intelligent.

5 years at Amazon taught me how to reduce latency in AI systems. Now I’m applying that same principle to human coordination. Weddings, parties, conferences, all under 2 seconds.

The world’s first AI-coordinated wedding is happening today in Colorado. Festa is running it. Built solo by an engineer who quit a 500K per year Amazon career, in order to reimagine what “day-of-the-event” means.

13 acts in, out of 23 total acts drafted. We have past the half-way mark on the Story of Festa. If y'all like an old-fashioned Tweet Storm. I just dropped the latest installment. https://t.co/kI7jXUGc1e

That insight would drive my next core project: turning Festa’s AI from a prototype into a battle-tested architecture.

Our prototype’s prompt system was naive — fast, but untested. We needed evals to make it robust for real weddings.

Working from Industrious turned out to be great — surrounded by other early-stage founders chasing their own visions.
