SuruKode
The Modern Developer Studio

Building fast with AI. Sharing the journey, the workflow, and the process.

What Is SuruKode?

SuruKode (meaning "to develop") is Benjie's personal AI development studio, a space where ideas turn into working prototypes fast.

It's not a company. It's a workflow, a philosophy, and a documentation space for how a non-traditional builder became a Modern Developer using AI, Cursor, and rapid iteration.

Here you'll find:

  • •My AI workflows
  • •Tutorials and breakdowns
  • •Behind-the-scenes of shipping MVPs
  • •My Substack essays on becoming a Modern Developer

The Modern Developer Mindset

I'm not a traditional engineer. I use AI as a collaborator to build products faster than I ever could alone.

SuruKode documents my journey from being laid off to building real software, learning rapid prototyping, validating ideas quickly, and sharing everything openly so others can learn too.

Follow the Journey on Substack

I write weekly about AI-assisted development, fast prototyping, and my journey building products after being laid off.

If you're a non-traditional builder learning to ship with AI, this is your home.
