I told Claude Code how I wanted an app to look and work, and we built it. That became Ronan Launcher, a desktop app built around my own workflow. I wrote about how it started, how I explained what I wanted, and what I learned along the way. You don't have to be a software engineer to start thinking about how AI can help you solve a problem. Read the full story below.

I Knew the Problem. AI Helped Me Build the Solution.

How I used Claude Code to build Ronan Launcher around my own workflow, and what the experience taught me about solving problems with AI.

Hello guys, welcome to my portfolio! 👋 This is where I share my projects, things I'm learning, and a bit of my journey in IT. Feel free to look around! You can also try the chatbot to ask about my work, or just see how it replies haha. Thanks for stopping by!

I built BetterBacoor, inspired by BetterGov.ph and the BetterLGU community. I wanted to make it easier to find what you need before visiting a government office in Bacoor. It brings service requirements, office contacts, and official links into one place. It's an unofficial, community-run guide and it's open source. You can find the website and code in the project below.

Hot take: The best portfolio is one that doesn't look like a portfolio. Show your thinking, your process, and your personality, not just polished final screenshots.

I'm building my own portfolio to showcase my projects and share what I'm learning. I wanted it to feel a bit more like me, so I went with a social media style. There will be posts, project updates, and blogs about my experience. A place where I can share the work and the things that happen along the way. I'm also making it open source so others can use it too.

Just automated something I used to do manually I've been managing LMS servers for clients, and every time we provision a new one, it meant SSH-ing in, editing config files, updating databases, restarting services... the same steps every single time. This week I finally tried Ansible for the first time. One playbook. One command. Done. Still a lot to learn, but this is a huge step up from manual configs.
