Personal Learning Lab
ProductIntel | Fall 2025 - Present
AI Operations Platform · Self-directed learning project · productintel.io
- Built solo, from scratch, to prove the thesis that one product-minded builder, paired with the right AI tools, can prototype at a level that used to require a small team

- Exercises the full PM discipline end-to-end in a compressed timeline: problem framing, architecture choice, product design, spec rigor, build, testing, and shipping
- Scale (roughly four weeks of focused effort): ~62,000 lines of TypeScript across 417 files, 64 pages, 99 API routes, 86 database tables over 37 migrations, 251 commits, with Vitest and Playwright test harnesses in place
