It Started As A Portfolio

This site started in 2025 as a personal portfolio. I had a bit of HTML behind me and I wanted to make web apps, so I started putting one together.

Only a couple of weeks in I found Claude, and this was back when you still had to paste chunks of code into the chat and ask it to review them, before Claude Code could reach into a directory on its own. It was slower and clumsier than what I have now, but it was also the thing that changed my mind about what the site was even for.

I stopped trying to showcase my coding and started learning as much as I could about building with AI instead, and the apps here all came out of that. Some of them are bigger than anything I would have written by hand in the time I had, which is sort of the point.

So this is not really a portfolio of what I can type out on my own, it is more a record of how I use AI to make different things, and that is the part I actually care about now.
