# Code From Anywhere

**Code From Anywhere** (abbreviated **CFA**) is a distributed software development agency and developer collective founded by [[Jan_Wilmake]] in April 2021. Operating under the principle that high-quality software development can be performed from any location in the world, CFA assembled a geographically dispersed team of engineers working primarily in React Native, TypeScript, and Node.js.

## History

### Founding (2021)

CFA was formally established in April 2021 following an intensive networking period in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Within its first five operational months, the agency generated strong early revenue, largely through client engagements in mobile and web application development.

### International Expansion (2022)

By mid-2022, CFA had grown to include remote team members in Nepal and Brazil. A notable initiative was the **Code From Nepal Bootcamp** (September–October 2022), in which Wilmake traveled to Nepal to train and mentor local developers while simultaneously delivering client work.

### AI Pivot and Evolution (2022–2024)

Following ChatGPT's public launch in November 2022, CFA's focus shifted progressively from pure client services toward AI-native product development. The agency served as the legal and commercial entity for Wilmake's independent projects, including [[ActionSchema]], [[Screenless]], and [[uithub]].

### 2025–Present

CFA continues to operate as the umbrella entity for Wilmake's consulting and product work.

## Key Client Projects

| Period | Client / Project | Description |
|--------|-----------------|-------------|
| 2022 | PassionFruit | ESG-focused client project |
| 2023 | ScrapingBee | ChatGPT plugin development |
| 2023–2024 | Sprent (Sweden) | Admin panel, TypeScript migration, AG-Grid integration |
| 2024 Q1 | Minion.ai (San Francisco) | Browser automation / agentic AI |
| 2024 Q2–Q3 | Slimmer.ai / ClaimWise | Patent search AI SaaS; Python/AWS/React |
| 2025 | Parallel.ai | DevRel contract, MCP and Cloudflare tooling |

## Technology Stack

CFA's preferred stack evolved significantly over its existence:

- **2021–2022**: React Native, Expo, Apollo GraphQL, Node.js
- **2022–2023**: TypeScript monorepo, PassionFruit integrations
- **2023–2025**: OpenAI APIs, Cloudflare Workers, Bun.sh, AG-Grid, Supabase

## Operating Philosophy

Wilmake established CFA around the belief that talented developers exist globally and that geographic constraints on engineering teams are largely artificial. This philosophy was demonstrated most concretely through the Nepal Bootcamp, which combined client delivery with local developer upskilling in a remote mountain environment.
