About

Chase Wackerfuss

I'm a software engineer who builds products. Over the years, I've shipped code that's reached millions of users, contributed to open source projects with thousands of stars, and led engineering teams at high-growth startups.

What I've Built

  • CaseTutor — As CTO, I'm building cutting-edge voice AI for case interview prep. Real-time AI interviewers, 100+ case studies, and instant personalized feedback.
  • Converge — A daily AI puzzle game where you collaborate with an AI to guess the word in 8 chances.
  • Abe — Video chat with home service pros when you're stuck on a DIY project. Expert advice when you need it most.

Open Source

I built and maintained Reactle, an open-source Wordle clone that earned 3,000+ GitHub stars. Over two years, thousands of developers used it to learn software engineering, contribute to open source, and build their own word games. The project was notable enough to be covered by NPR when the New York Times issued DMCA takedowns against Wordle clones.

Experience

I've worked across the stack at companies building developer tools, fintech, and healthcare software:

  • Postscript — Software Engineer
  • Pulley — Staff Software Engineer
  • Kyros — Lead Software Engineer
  • LaunchDarkly — Software Engineer
  • Branch — Sr Frontend Engineer / Technical Product Owner

Beyond Code

When I'm not writing code, I play drums in Fragile Canyons and Steady Range. I run marathons, grow culinary mushrooms, and share my home in Fargo, ND with two dogs.
