Every project starts the same way: "I have no idea how to do this." Then I sit down with Claude and figure it out. The projects are real. The learning is documented. Nothing is faked.
A weekly newsletter covering AI and robotics in manufacturing and small business. Researched, written, and assembled using Claude as a co-author. Every issue includes an industry lead story, a hands-on Workbench experiment, a curated news roundup, and a transparent "How We Made This" section showing exactly how AI contributed to each piece.
"AI is a collaborator, not a replacement. The best output came from iterating back and forth — not from a single prompt. The 'How We Made This' transparency section turned out to be what people respond to most."
You're looking at it. Designed and coded entirely through conversation with Claude. Dark mode, responsive, scroll animations, bento grid — all built from a conversation that started with "I want a portfolio site."
A RAG-powered system that reads manufacturing SOPs, quality reports, and supplier specs, then answers questions in plain English. Built to show what happens when domain expertise meets AI engineering.
Take messy manufacturing data — scrap rates, production volumes, quality metrics — and use AI to clean, analyze, and visualize it into exec-ready insights. From ugly spreadsheet to clear dashboard in one session.
Using AI to build the workflow that creates the newsletter. Research, drafting, editing, layout — automated end to end. Meta? Yes. A case study in AI-powered content operations? Also yes.
Same process every time. The AI helps at every step, but the curiosity and the decisions are mine.
Every project starts with something I don't know how to do. That's the point — the question IS the content.
I sit down with Claude and work through it. Prompt, iterate, break things, fix things. Record everything.
The whole process goes into the newsletter and on video. What worked, what didn't, what I'd do differently.
Put it live. Add it to the portfolio. Move on to the next question. Repeat.
