Lab
Side projects, built with Claude
Tools I built for problems I actually have, on the Claude API and shipped with Claude Code. Most have exactly one user: me. That's said next to each one. Open any of them for how it works, where AI fits and the guardrails.

Cupel (FinanceOS)
Self-hosted personal finance that puts net worth and goals first: Plaid bank sync, a card payment planner, duplicate-charge catches and a Claude tax-deduction pre-sort.
Used by: me, private

TradeTorch
A trading lab: a rule-based agent with a fixed chain of checks, plus paper desks that have to prove an idea before it could touch real money.

Sales-report flows
Power Automate flows that file every daily and hourly sales report into Drive the moment it lands, where the dashboard reads it.
Used for: 6ave sales reporting
Power Automate - Advertising · in production
Read-only ads reporting
Pulls each completed day of Best Buy Ads reporting, paced and capped, through an allowlist of approved calls. It can read campaigns, never change them.
Used by: PublishOS, the internal ads and listings dashboard
Read-only
Four rules every build follows
Keys never reach the browser
Every tool calls the API from a server; keys live only in the host's environment variables.
Read-only where it touches money
Nothing places a trade, and the ads pipeline can't touch campaigns, bids or budgets.
Honest numbers only
Dashboards show real activity or say plainly that they're in demo mode.
Shipped from the repo
Each repo carries its own working rules; Claude Code builds and deploys from it, so nothing depends on my PC being on.
