Builder portfolio · live demos & case studies
I find real problems
and ship working software.
Nine self-directed projects, built with AI development tools like Claude, Codex, and GitHub. Newest first: the study system I now use every day instead of taking notes, a stream clipper simple enough for a nine-year-old, an auto-shop repair-order pipeline, a pair of operations dashboards, reliability guardrails for AI agents, a Gmail API integration, and shipped desktop software. Each one comes with a live demo or a tested build, an honest status, and a short case study.
About me. I'm a hands-on, self-taught builder who turns messy real-world workflows into working software. I scope the problem, design the workflow, write the frontend and backend, then debug, test, and ship. I move fast and work on my own, using AI development tools like Claude, Codex, and GitHub. I like building internal operational tools that frontline teams actually use, and I want a role where I can prototype, deploy, and improve the systems people rely on every day.

01 — Study Desk
Built Aug 2026What I use instead of writing notes. It reads the course page on its own with nothing to paste, says it back in plainer words, and lets me stop and ask anything the second I'm lost, like an expert sitting next to me. Unlike a chat window it remembers — what I've covered, when I last saw it, and the exact assumptions I keep getting wrong.

02 — Clippa
Built Jul 2026A stream clipper simple enough for a nine-year-old. Local transcription plus a Claude ranking pass finds the good moments, and the whole feature falls back silently to offline audio analysis when there's no API key.

03 — ShopFlow-Orchestrator
Started Jun 2026Technician notes → a priced repair order + an empathetic customer text, with a self-healing layer that still ships an estimate when the vendor API and AI are offline.

04 — Content Operator OS
Started Mar 2026A full-stack operations dashboard with a real review queue and analytics. Runs with zero config on sample data.

05 — NightShift Manager
Started Jun 2026Runs AI coding jobs unattended and only marks one "done" when its output is objectively verified. The guardrails around a coding agent that runs on its own.
AI workflow automation · reliability & verification
06 — Deal Desk
Built Jun 2026A Bloomberg-terminal-style operator dashboard for an off-market real-estate desk — a live deal feed and market intel — plus an AI deal-sheet generator that turns one note into a deal card, a memo, and a buyer-blast email.

07 — DrainCheck
Started Mar 2026Find your recurring subscriptions from read-only Gmail and total your monthly spend, with a no-login demo.
Real API integration · OAuth · serverless · privacy
08 — Resume Shock
Started Mar 2026Turn a PDF résumé into a clean, shareable web page, parsed entirely in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded.
Frontend · client-side processing · privacy by design
09 — KitSmith
Started Jun 2026A Windows desktop app that turns audio you own into a producer sound kit: stems, MIDI, and analysis, fully offline. Ships as native installers.

A note on the demos. They all run on fictional sample data, so there's no real personal information anywhere. The projects are self-directed and built with AI-assisted development. The status labels (live, demo, desktop) are accurate, not aspirational.
