Franklin Volcic

I'm currently an engineer at Anthropic.

I was lucky to be introduced to the art of writing code as a kid, which I quickly fell in love with. I love how a screen is like a blank canvas and the code is like your paint. There is a sense of possibility with code, anything you can dream can be built.

Outside of writing code, I am a big fan of all things outside. I love mountain biking, hiking, skiing, running... the list goes on. Let me know if you ever want to go riding.
