These are fun (non-commercial) personal projects intended to illustrate the kind of building I can do. I'm amazed at how much can get done with one person and an AI team, if orchestated in the right way.
A structured, AI-native development pipeline for solo product builders. Human judgment at every gate. Agentic automation everywhere else.
This project is a bootstrap package with orchestrated AI agents for all of the key roles in a software development environment. In true Anthropic style, I built my own builder with which many of my other project were built with.
AI-powered engine that scans industry news, distills what matters, and delivers ready-to-use briefs, visuals, and articles.
Industry-specific deep space search across thousands of sources.
Turn raw sub-industry niche news into briefs, visuals, and socials.
Instant creation of content to communicate your findings.
Follow trending topics in any industry.
Currently in beta- please be patient- it's growing.
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 integration 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: 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 nuanced UX decisions. Code base matured incrementally.
Currently in V5: Automated source research and imports
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).
1. The Product Map (HTSUS Organization Infographic) This graphic visually breaks down the massive U.S. rulebook for imports. It acts like a mind map showing how every possible item in the world is organized into 21 broad sections.
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.
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.
