Every project starts as a personal itch.
Three live builds and one in progress — each one an excuse to automate something I care about and get better at AI-assisted engineering along the way.
Graffiti Pipeline
Snap a photo on the street, and this pipeline handles the rest: it converts and compresses the image, pulls GPS data to tag the neighborhood, and asks Claude to write a caption and pick a matching affiliate product — all queued for a single tap of approval before it reaches Instagram and WordPress.
It's my testbed for AI content generation, image processing, and SEO automation working together without a human doing the busywork.
Tattoo Discovery Engine
This one starts with research, not a photo. It pulls candidate stories from Reddit, Google, YouTube, and deep web search, then has Claude ground and fact-check them — verifying real artists and shops before anything gets written.
Once a topic clears review, it becomes a WordPress post, an Instagram caption, and a full YouTube script — plus a weekly email digest so I never lose track of what shipped.
Health & BJJ Journal
health.shineharder.com will journal AI-generated workout routines and how the metrics they produce get used to optimize my performance — alongside a running log of my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training.
