Projects
Everything on this page I made, most with the help of Claude Code and Codex. I am not an engineer.
I continue to be amazed—and sometimes terrified—by the pace of change and progress thanks to AI. I can now build native apps, custom websites, infrastructure and CLI tools, insanely personalized automations, and so much more… in minutes. And almost everything here started the same way: something annoyed me, I complained to my AI agents, and we built something to fix it.
Some of these tools thousands of people could use (and maybe will, someday!). Some of them have exactly one user, and that’s me.
I also wrote about creating my website with AI in Building this site with Claude Code.
