Projects

My projects are places to learn in public, test ideas, and turn curiosity into something tangible.

Clodsite

Clodsite is an experimental website builder for AI-assisted creation and publishing. The central idea is simple: use an AI agent where interpretation and creative judgment are valuable, then hand the result to deterministic scripts for building and deployment.

A conversation becomes a reviewable build-plan.yaml. From that point forward, the same plan produces the same website. Clodsite is both a useful tool and an exploration of how AI and conventional software can divide work according to their strengths.

Master Time Waster

Master Time Waster is a retirement-themed creative project built around a deliberately unproductive idea: retirement should be enjoyed rather than optimized.

Through apparel, branding, and web content, the project celebrates hobbies, experiments, detours, and the pleasure of spending time on something simply because it interests you.

Big Beautiful Peace Prize

Big Beautiful Peace Prize is a playful web application for awarding someone a personalized peace prize. A visitor enters the recipient's name and achievement, previews a rendered certificate, and sends it directly to the recipient by email.

Behind the simple experience is a compact Cloudflare architecture: a static site on Pages, a Pages Function that verifies Cloudflare Turnstile and proxies authenticated requests, and a separate Worker that renders the certificate and delivers it through Resend. It is an experiment in making a whimsical idea feel polished while keeping the infrastructure small and inexpensive.

AI Learning Lab

My AI learning lab is an ongoing hands-on exploration of local models, coding agents, and software automation. It is centered around Apple Silicon hardware and tools including ChatGPT, Codex, Claude, and Ollama.

The goal is not to predict the future from a distance. It is to build things, observe what works, understand where the tools fail, and develop practical ways for experienced software engineers to use them well.
