Shine harder in the dark.
AI-powered systems that turn curiosity into published work — automating social media, researching tattoo culture, and training smarter, one experiment at a time.
An AI developer and artist who ships in public
I'm a Los Angeles-based developer with a background in Cisco firewall development and network security. Shineharder is where that engineering discipline meets a lifelong pull toward tattoos, graffiti, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — three interests I'm now teaching AI systems to help me explore.
Every project here is a real, running pipeline: research, generation, and publishing, built to learn something new about AI vibe-coding and social media automation along the way.
Three projects, one obsession
Each site automates a different part of a creative or physical practice. Read the details, or visit them live.
Graffiti Pipeline
Photos become approved Instagram carousels and SEO-tagged WordPress posts — AI writes the captions, geocodes the location, and waits for my sign-off before anything goes live.
Tattoo Discovery Engine
A research agent scans Reddit, YouTube, and the wider web for trending tattoo topics, fact-checks real artists and shops, then drafts blog posts and video scripts ready for review.
Health & BJJ Journal
AI-generated workout routines, logged metrics, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training notes — used to optimize performance over time. In active development.
