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.
Overview
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.
