Things I've built, broken, and learned from.

Some useful, some just interesting. Artifacts, experiments, frameworks, and the occasional thing I built because I didn't want to wait for someone else to build it.

Decision Tool Live

Decision Gym

Practice CEO decisions. Commit to a call and name the downside before you see what happened, then build a profile from your choices.

Game Live

Pack Ripper

Rip Pokémon packs, build a collection, and track your profit and loss with real sets, real cards, and a fake wallet.

Artifact Live

Daily Intelligence Briefing

I liked the LinkedIn daily briefing so I built my own. Every morning Claude searches dozens of global news sources and writes a TL;DR plus the stories that matter. Customize it, fork it, make your own.

Game Live

Patches (Shikaku Puzzle)

LinkedIn dropped a puzzle game. I had Claude build me my own version because I didn't want to wait another day to play.

Framework In Use

Drive Navigator Framework

A framework I built for pet screening to navigate complex product requirements across regulated environments. Decision trees for when the territory is ambiguous and the stakes are real.

System Retired

Alfred on OpenClaw: Built, Run, Retired

How a multi-agent system I built on OpenClaw ran real business operations. Alfred orchestrated, Monitor watched, Drafting generated. Architecture diagrams, the thinking behind it, and why I retired it in early August 2026: maintenance outweighed the value, and better off-the-shelf agents arrived.

Case Study Complete

PavingOS

A vertical SaaS platform built in 48 hours over a holiday break. The case study for what happens when intent becomes executable. Batman tools first, Iron Man suits later.
