Nicole Patten and Harry Roper, co-founders of Sprint to AI

01

Nicole J Patten

Co-founder · design & research

Self-taught engineer and former NIH neuroscientist, 7 years at Google (FAANG) as Senior UX Engineer, Sprint Lead, and Product Manager. She built and runs claudetraining.com as a solo operator — client delivery, ops, and site infrastructure, entirely with Claude. In every cohort she works from your real workflows and leaves you with something running by Monday, not just notes from a deck.

Founder and CEO of Imaginary Space, an 18-person AI firm with 50+ production systems shipped and official Lovable and Supabase partner — and runs labs.imaginaryspace.ai, where 500+ students have learned to vibe code. He brings deep technical depth to the Sprint to AI program. He pressure-tests what is worth building and prototypes with your stack so you leave with substance, not theory.
