Full Platforms, Not Just Sites
These are production platforms with APIs, databases, mobile apps, and AI integration, not websites. Each one would traditionally take a team of 5-10 developers months to deliver. We built them in days.
The Rock Cave
A full-stack rock music community: responsive website, native iOS & Android apps, a native Mac desktop app, 27 autonomous AI agents, and a complete content pipeline. Built in a 7-day sprint, evolved over two months into a 262-commit, 100K+ line, 4-platform product.
Haunts.io
A personal check-in platform replacing Foursquare Swarm: React web app, native mobile app, Apple Watch and Wear OS companions, world heatmap, flight atlas, road trips, 54 stickers, 32 achievements, and 6,700+ imported check-ins. Built in a 5-day sprint, perfected over months.
Highway Signs App
A WordPress plugin migrated to a complete standalone platform: API server, redesigned web app, native mobile app, and admin panel. Day one built the stack. Day two hardened it. Days three through six field-tested it.
Badge To The Bone
A law enforcement mental wellness podcast transformed from a basic page into a full social engagement platform. Community forums, 59+ episode management, real-time notifications, and admin moderation, all built in 3 days on architecture proven a few weeks earlier on The Rock Cave.
How We Think About Building Software
Our approach combines 40 years of enterprise architecture with AI-accelerated development. These pieces explore why traditional timelines are obsolete, what it means to direct AI as a senior architect, and how we consistently deliver production software in days instead of quarters.
From Skeptic to Believer
A personal diary of my first week with vibe-coding: from raw prompts to plans, CLAUDE.md, and Superpowers. How a skeptical CTO became a convert in 7 sleepless days.
Replacing QuickBooks With a Single Plan
A single-member LLC owner trades a $500-a-year QuickBooks and Simplifi habit for one local-first Mac app, built in a day from a reviewed plan. The plan is included, free to copy.
Vibe-Coding: A Practical Guide
A hands-on CTO's first-person account of building a full-stack community platform and mobile apps in 7 days with Claude AI. The methodology, the mistakes, and the results.
The Era of Personalized Apps Is Here
One coffee, one prompt, one weekend. A cross-device file-sharing app for Android and Mac built on a self-hosted Pi relay, with no subscriptions and no third parties.
Claude Isn't Just for Coding, it's an expert Sys Admin
Eight days of piping homelab logs through Claude turned into a production sysadmin pipeline, 1,190 tracked findings, and a full 32-to-64-bit migration I was told would not be worth it.
Ship Fast Without Cutting Corners
Not every project needs months. A photography portfolio, a content site, and a brand presence all shipped in a day or less, carrying the same senior-level architecture and security hardening we bring to our largest platforms.
michaelpierce.com
A personal portfolio rebuilt from the ground up: eliminating security vulnerabilities, building a 7-gallery photo system with 400+ photos, and hardening the entire stack. All in a single day.
GullibleLlama
A content-driven web presence designed and launched at speed. Clean design, fast loading, and built to grow with the brand.
