About BuildHub

I'm not an engineer. I can read code, but I can't really write it. Two years ago that would have been the end of the sentence. Today it's a starting line.

BuildHub is where I publish the daily build log of using AI (specifically Claude Code) as the sole engineer on real systems. Not prototypes. Not demos. Systems that run on a cron, fail at 3am, and have to be debugged the next morning.

The goal isn't to prove AI can write code. The goal is to be honest about what it takes to ship something when you're not the person writing the syntax.

    CAIOS

    First attempt at an AI-orchestrated operating layer. Over-scoped, under-delivered. Learned what not to build.

  2. 2025
    Growth Factory

    Pivoted to a tools-and-community platform. 28 AI-powered utilities shipped. Discovered community is expensive; content is cheap.

    Stripped down to the essentials: daily public build logs. This site.

    The first real system being built in public — a fully automated stock-trading research pipeline. Claude Code is the engineer; I'm the operator.
