CodeFlow

Senior Software Engineer & Entrepreneur

CodeFlow is Webflow's open-source AI interview environment — designed and built solo by Kaden Beckstead. It is now used exclusively for every Software Engineer candidate at Webflow.

What is CodeFlow?

CodeFlow is an AI-powered interview environment that lets candidates write, run, and debug code during technical interviews. Kaden Beckstead designed and built it end-to-end at Webflow, then authored the public write-up when Webflow open-sourced the project.

The canonical product repository lives on GitHub; this page documents Kaden Beckstead's role as creator and builder.
