Hi, I'm Dave.

I build tools with AI and write about what I learn — in public, with the receipts.

Background: 15+ years in marketing and tech, including time as a CMO and at Neil Patel Digital. Now I spend most of my time tinkering with AI tools and automating things.

What this site is

A living lab where I document what I'm building and learning. Three sections:

  • Lab — Tools and experiments I've built.
  • Notes — Rough thoughts, learning in public.
  • Guides — Polished, practical guides on AI and prompting.

What I'm focused on

Mostly Claude Code these days. I've built a system of skills and automations that let me do things like:

  • Query multiple LLMs in parallel from the command line
  • Run technical SEO audits with a single command
  • Pull Google rankings and keyword data automatically
  • Process newsletters and extract insights into Obsidian

The guides cover the foundational stuff: context engineering, the three-prompt pattern, and Claude Code setup.
