Overview
I joined Ohara as an intern in early 2025 and transitioned to a full-time Software Engineer shortly after. My work spans the entire stack—from architecting the core frontend and embedding pipeline for AI-generated apps to implementing critical crypto-native integrations like Farcaster Auth and OnchainKit. I work closely with the founders to ship features that power the next generation of AI-generated software.
Overview
Ohara is a code generation company that empowers anyone to build and share full-stack apps simply by prompting. When users make an app on Ohara, a token is tied to their vibe coded apps & games (called App Coins) live on @base.
I joined as a full‑stack Software Engineer intern on Jan 2, 2025 and completed my internship on May 9, 2025. I started full‑time as a Software Engineer on May 12, 2025.
Highlights
I began by working on the OpenAI API connection for the Ohara builder. In this task, I created OpenAPI specs and structured Implementation Guidelines for the OpenAI APIs to give our AI agent context and the ability to reliably one-shot full-stack apps using OpenAI’s services. This connection was a success and was pushed to production within 10 days.
As the internship progressed, I transitioned into more full-stack feature work, contributing to internal pages, shipping critical features under tight launch timelines, and leading efforts around integrations and system behavior at deployment.
A few things I worked on:
Software Engineer (Full-time)
- Owned core frontend for the main web product and its deployment as a live Base miniapp inside join.base.app.
- Built the full embedding pipeline for AI-generated products so they run natively inside the Base ecosystem.
- Implemented user authentication using Sign in with Farcaster, Quick Auth, and the Farcaster Miniapp SDK across both web and embedded surfaces.
- Worked across frontend, platform integration, and product logic to ship features used by real users in a high-traffic crypto-native environment.
Software Engineering Intern
- Implemented 5 third-party API Connections now live in production, including OpenAI, OnchainKit (Coinbase), Helius, and World App, powering AI-based app generation.
- Built and shipped full-stack features such as the App Detail Page and Frames integration (Farcaster Frames V2), enabling Ohara apps to be embeddable on the Warpcast platform.
- Refactored and improved metadata injection for apps at deployment time by updating the service layer to handle new app types.
- Fixed keyboard input issues in iframe-based games by isolating scrolling behavior and handling key events effectively.
- Wrote reusable markdown templates for API and SDK integration guidelines.
- Contributed 5,000+ lines of code across 15+ PRs in a remote, async engineering team, supporting critical launches under tight deadlines.
