Jimmy Wallace

Software engineer Β· Founder of Prog Strength

About

Hey, I'm Jimmy πŸ‘‹

I'm a software engineer with 6+ years of experience building backend systems and distributed platforms at companies like:

  • Charter Communications β€” Built the data lake platform giving BI teams governed access to PII and powering the big-data jobs behind their insights.
  • Amazon Web Services β€” Worked on EC2's metering service, responsible for billing every EC2 instance running across the globe.
  • Capital One β€” Built the enterprise ECS Fargate deployment pipeline that teams across the org used to ship serverless apps.

These days outside of work, most of my energy goes into Prog Strength, an AI strength coach I'm building from the ground up.

What I'm building

Prog Strength β€” your AI fitness agent

Prog Strength is an all-in-one AI agent for strength and fitness. Chat or talk to it to build personalized training programs, log workouts and nutrition, and get coaching that adapts as you progress. Available on the web at progstrength.fitness and as an iOS app.

I'm the founder and the project is completely open source β€” you can find the org and our public repos at github.com/Prog-Strength.

Contributions, ideas, and issues are always welcome!

Tech I reach for

  • Backend β€” Python, Go, Java, TypeScript (Node)
  • Frontend β€” React, Next.js
  • Infrastructure β€” AWS, Terraform

Beyond the keyboard

When I'm not coding, I'm usually lifting, running, or out on a hike β€” I'm a big fitness enthusiast. The rest of my time goes to playing electric guitar (the blues, mostly), reading, and digging into philosophy when I can.

Let's connect

Always happy to chat β€” about code, lifting, music, philosophy, or whatever you're building.
