Built with Claude
I build every project on this site with AI. This is what that looks like.
The Background
I'm a litigation attorney. I've been one for twenty years. I have no programming background and no computer science training. What I do have is a long career spent figuring out exactly what needs to happen, pushing back when the first answer isn't good enough, and iterating until the work is right.
That turned out to be the skill set that matters most when building with AI.
The Work
Every project on this site was built with Claude as a working partner. I drive the product: what the app should do, how it should feel, what's working and what isn't. Claude drives the engineering: architecture, implementation, the technical decisions I wouldn't know to make on my own. The collaboration produces real software -- not demos, not prototypes, but things my family and I use every day.

What It's Like
The short version: it's the most energizing work I've done in years. A year ago I had never written a line of code. Now I'm shipping 3D games, native macOS apps, and multi-agent platforms -- and genuinely understanding what I'm building, not just copying output from a chatbot.
I make design decisions, review architecture, test edge cases, and rewrite things that don't feel right. The projects keep getting more ambitious because the process keeps rewarding ambition. Each one teaches me something new about what's possible when a person with domain expertise and an AI with engineering capability actually work together.
Why It Matters
I started testing AI tools for legal work in 2023, when the models weren't ready yet. They are now. Most people haven't caught up to what's already possible, and the tools are still improving fast.
These projects are how I learn what that gap looks like from the inside. Each build teaches me something about when to trust the AI, when to push back, and when my own judgment is the thing that matters. That kind of understanding only comes from doing the work -- and the work, so far, has been worth every hour.
