Hi, I'm Jonathan 👋

📍 Raleigh, NC | 🚀 Co-Founder & CEO Nutrient (@PSPDFKit) | ⚖️ Lawyer turned builder | 🤖 Aspiring vibe coding god

TypeScript Python JavaScript Node.js Codex Claude PDF

I left a law career to build software. Best decision I ever made. Now I run Nutrient — the company I co-founded as PSPDFKit back in 2014. We help developers build better document experiences, and our tech powers apps used by nearly a billion people.

These days I'm deep in the AI trenches, exploring how agents change everything about how we work. I have an AI assistant named Brosef who handles my email while I'm at my kid's birthday parties. The future is weird and I'm here for it.

Current Projects

  • 🤖 agent-skills — AI agent skills for Moltbot, Claude Code, Codex
  • 🦞 lobster-workflows — Deterministic workflow templates for Moltbot with approval gates and state tracking
  • 🎨 volks-typo — Astro blog theme exploring Bauhaus modernism and WW2-era typography
  • 📝 nudocs — AI-powered document editing and collaboration
  • 🦞 Moltbot — Contributing to the personal AI assistant that actually does things (formerly Clawdbot)

Company

  • 🔋 Nutrient (formerly @PSPDFKit) — Co-Founder & CEO. Document SDKs used by millions, backed by Insight Partners. Built from scratch with @steipete in 2011, rebranded to Nutrient in 2024.

What I'm Doing

  • Building in public — Shipping AI tools and sharing what I learn
  • Writing — Documenting the vibe coding journey at jdrhyne.me
  • Leading Nutrient — Evolving how humans experience documents

Philosophy

"Ship beats perfect" — I went from writing legal briefs to shipping code. Turns out both are just about clear communication and solving problems.

Random Facts

  • 🎓 NC State undergrad → Campbell Law School → said "nah" to practicing law
  • 🤝 Co-founded PSPDFKit with @steipete — still friends, still building
  • ☕ Powered by North Carolina coffee and the belief that documents don't have to suck
  • 🤖 Currently letting AI agents do my email while I live my life
