I use Claude daily — Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and the Claude API — to build tools and workflows that solve real problems. Each project below covers what I built, how Claude fit in, and what I’d do differently.
Career Launch OS
Notion workflow · Claude Code + Notion connector
Problem: My job search generated scattered information — applications, statuses, research notes, company facts — with no single place to manage it.
What I built: A Notion workspace that works as a job-search operations system: an application-activity tracker plus structured job-research and company-research databases, each entry with its own research page.
How Claude fit in: I used Claude Code with Claude’s Notion connector to design and populate the databases and automate the research workflow.

This website
WordPress · Claude Code + Claude Cowork
Problem: I needed a professional portfolio presence for both my art and my AI work, with no budget for a designer or developer.
What I built: This site — planned, branded, and developed with Claude.
How Claude fit in: Planning and brand-identity brainstorming with Claude Code; hands-on development with Claude Cowork working directly in the WordPress admin through desktop access.
Investment research database
Notion · Claude Code + Notion connector
Problem: Making informed investment decisions about the mutual-fund market — especially rising AI sectors — required research volume I couldn’t sustain manually.
What I built: An extensive Notion database of market research, with analysis and findings presented on each entry page.
How Claude fit in: Claude Code performed the market research and analysis; the Notion connector structured it into the database.

Applications built with Claude Code
TypeScript, Rust, Python · GitHub
Three public repositories: capturetonotion (TypeScript), artifexprocal (Rust), and daniel-career-projects (Python).
How I worked: Features and designs came from brainstorming sessions with Claude; I analyzed the generated code and ran QA sessions to test, iterate, and improve each codebase before publishing.
