Scope of Work:
Zero-to-One: Solo-build a real-time information aggregator with AI synthesis using Anthropic's API — perform both product and engineering disciplines.
Design a custom intergation with secure authentication, user management, session control, and reto-radar-inspired dark UI.
Ship a full tech stack with web search that pulls live results, not training data. Shift fully functioning software, secure, and scalable.
Build out an admin console, site management suite, roadmap, and dashboard.
V0-V1: This was a total vibecode. A vague idea and playing with incremental UX changes to dial in an experience.
V1-V2: More structured investigations, engineering design choices, and nuance UX. Code base matured incrementally.
Currently in V5: Automated source research and imports
Total Build Duration: 8 days (v0-v2)

My Reflections: This project was spontaneous and organic and didn't follow many rules. The goal was to use new coding tools to go from idea to real interactive product as quickly as possible, then incrementally backfill areas of discipline as the product solidified. Each step of the SDLC was abbreviated, often working over-the-shoulder with agents simultaneously developing new features.
If you've read this far, you might want to see the whole Build Narrative, which describes the evolution of the product from 0-v2, and the play-by-play of how product decisions are made. You will get a really good sense of how it evolved organically over the week (with no structure, spontaneously).
An graphical Walkthrough of The Harmonized Tariff Schedule
An graphical Walkthrough of The Harmonized Tariff Schedule
1. The Product Map (HTSUS Organization Infographic) This graphic visually breaks down the massive U.S. rulebook for imports, known as the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS), which uses over 17,000 unique codes to classify products. It acts like a mind map showing how every possible item in the world is organized into 21 broad sections—starting from basic raw materials like live animals and moving up to highly complex manufactured goods like machinery—and then further divided into 99 specific chapters. It gives a bird's-eye view of how the government categorizes everything.
2. The Math of Tariffs (Duty Types Infographic) This side-by-side visual explains the three different ways the government calculates the tax on imported goods, using easy-to-understand icons and real-world examples.
3. The Players Involved (Trade Organizations Infographic) This is a relationship map showing "who is who" in international trade. It breaks down the chain of command, showing how the Importer interacts with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the agency that actually enforces the rules and collects the taxes. It also maps out the background organizations, like the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) that maintains and publishes the U.S. rulebook, and the World Customs Organization (WCO) that sets the overarching international standards.
4. The Full Journey (The Slide Deck) The slide deck is a step-by-step presentation summarizing the entire tariff determination process from start to finish. It walks a beginner through how a product gets categorized, explains how importers can protect themselves by asking the government for an official "Binding Ruling" to legally lock in their tax rate before shipping, and outlines the different agencies that manage the system.
Money Flow Visualizer (coming soon)
Money Flow Visualizer (coming soon)
MoneyMap-Explorer is an interactive web application that visualizes how money moves through the economy. It uses "Money Flow Explorer" where and animated flows show how money travels between them. Users can click into nodes that represent economic entities (like banks, governments, consumers) to drill down into sub-categories and explore their characteristics.

My Reflections: This idea has been in my head for a long time and it's satisfying to finally start to build it out. This is only the beginning of what I hope to be a realtime map of money movement across the world. This project triggered my desire to build a team of agents to work with me. The Solo SDLC was developed after this project.
