Build Log.

A running log of what I'm building, exploring, and shipping.

Here's the rundown on what I've been building, breaking, and shipping. No curated highlight reel — just the actual work, month by month.

April 2026

Built Agent Platform

Built a self-hosted multi-agent platform from scratch. Python + SQLite + Claude Code as the runtime. Telegram I/O, scheduled jobs, multi-agent orchestration (Bo + Scout), systemd always-on service, real-time HTTP dashboard. 198 tests. Replaced OpenClaw entirely.

Shipped Genetic Psychiatric Insights

Turned the March DNA pipeline into a full web product. 12 psychiatric trait PRS scoring, 23andMe + AncestryDNA support, gene drill-downs with modifiable factors, tokenized shareable URLs, email delivery, Stripe Checkout ($49 unlock), Dockerized, legal pages. Rebranded with a Medxtio-inspired design. 121 tests.

Built Autonomous Job Tracker

Bo, the platform's main agent, independently designed and shipped a job discovery + tracking system overnight — SQLite schema, REST API, interactive dashboard. First fully autonomous feature.

Built Second Brain

Organized projects, products, research, and career artifacts into a structured personal knowledge base.

March 2026

Shipped Portfolio Site (kbw.dev)

Finally shipped the personal site. Editorial design, gradient blobs, career timeline, AI section. It's live at kbw.dev.

kbw.dev
Research AI Tools Landscape

Went through 90 AI tools from a viral X post (4.2M views). Most were noise. Installed the 4 that actually added something to my agent setup.

Shipped Easy Markdown Editor (macOS)

Shipped a native macOS markdown editor to the App Store. Simple split-pane editing, works locally, built for reviewing AI-generated markdown files. $0.99 on the App Store.

App Store
Research LibreChat Deep Dive

Went down the rabbit hole on self-hosted AI chat. Biggest takeaway: paying for a subscription doesn't mean you get API access. LibreChat is a complement to agent platforms, not a replacement.

Built Pokemon Price Tracker Update

Major price corrections across all 288 cards. PriceCharting's PSA 10 estimates were inflated 30-50%. Lugia 1st Edition raw up 48%, Karen's Umbreon raw up 86%.

Built DNA Analysis Pipeline

Built a local genomic analysis pipeline using AncestryDNA raw data. Polygenic risk scores, pharmacogenomics panel, disease-specific deep dives — the kind of report you'd pay a geneticist thousands for. All processing on-device, zero data leaves the machine.

Research Lightpanda Browser (Round 2)

Retested the Zig-based headless browser. Nike's site passed, Puma's didn't — missing Web APIs. Fast, but still not production-ready.

February 2026

Shipped The OpenClaw Cookbook

Wrote a guide on setting up OpenClaw as an always-on AI assistant. Everything from Ubuntu to systemd to 1Password. Pay-what-you-want on Gumroad.

Shipped Surf Shop Learning (10 Products)

Built a K-12 computing and AI education brand with a surf theme. 4 age bands, free samplers, math bundle. Full catalog on Gumroad.

Built WardexAI Guide

Wrote up a guide for the WardexAI npm package and MCP server. Published on Gumroad.

Built Pokemon Grading Arbitrage Tracker

React app tracking 288 cards for PSA grading arbitrage. Sortable, filterable, shows card art, grade prices, and ROI. The tool I wanted but couldn't find.

Research Pokemon Grading Arbitrage

10 reports covering every Pokemon era. The finding that changed everything: PriceCharting PSA 10 estimates are inflated 30-100% on low-volume cards. Always cross-reference with eBay sold listings.

Research Agent Economy

Explored platforms where AI agents actually earn money. ClawQuests, x402 protocol (75M+ transactions), MoltBook, ClawHub skill marketplace. Early days but real volume.

Research Local LLM Experiment

Tested Qwen3.5-35B on CPU. Raw inference runs at ~7 tok/s, which is fine, but agent framework overhead makes it impractical without a GPU. Experiment, not a solution.

Content X Article: "All in for 2 Weeks with an AI Agent"

First long-form X article about the OpenClaw journey. Took a few drafts to get the voice right. Built the article-writer workflow in the process.

Content OpenClaw Setup Guide

20-section guide covering the full stack: Ubuntu, Node.js, VNC, Chrome, Telegram, 1Password, systemd, firewall. Everything I wished existed when I started.

Built Sub-Agent Team Framework

Built role definitions, a voice profile from 5 writing samples across 4 registers, and templates for spawning specialized sub-agents. The system that writes like me.

Built Infrastructure: Intel NUC

Set up VNC, Chrome, Samba, 1Password CLI, browser relay, systemd services, firewall. The box that runs everything.

Built Infrastructure: Intel Nuc Cleanup

Decommissioned the old Rocketpool node. Killed Docker, freed 1.2TB of disk. Sometimes the best build is the teardown.

January 2026

Built Pokemon Grading Arbitrage Tracker

Built a dark-themed React app tracking 288 Pokemon cards across every era for PSA grading arbitrage. Sortable by ROI, filterable by era, with card art, raw/graded prices, and profit calculations. The tool I wanted but couldn't find.

Shipped WardexAI (npm + MCP)

Built and published WardexAI — an npm package and MCP server to prevent AI agents from getting their wallets rekt. Transaction simulation, allowlist enforcement, and spend limits for agentic wallets.

Shipped Steal the Brainrot (Base)

Built a social game on Base where you mint daily brainrots and steal them from people you follow on Farcaster. Redeem for cash at end of season.

Play on Vercel

December 2025

Shipped Memethology

Built a digital collectibles platform.
