About Me

Hello, I'm James.

I'm on a mission to learn, create, connect, earn and leave something good behind.

I learn by getting into the middle of something and working it out. My projects showcase the journey I've taken so far.

Projects

Coach Mirror

Project:

A website for online coaches to sign up, link their social media/blog and get back a custom AI bot that they can resell to their community

Learning goal:

I wanted to vibe code something and learn about agents + different types of AI model training/tuning/creation.

What I built:

I vibe-coded a full stack web app with both a customer and admin login + a marketing landing page. Created some mini-agents in n8n, integrated them together via webhooks and then created RAG models from the source data.

The results:

Fluency in the quirks of different vibe code platforms, model and agent behaviour and what is possible in the market today

Fortnite

Project:

Playable Fortnite Maps

Learning goal:

Game development

What I built:

Using the Fortnite Unreal Engine editor I had a lot of fun creating two very different maps and types of games

The results:

Fluency in basic game development, 6000+ minutes played in my games

Spice Ships

Project:

An physical card game

Learning goal:

See if I could use AI to design a game from start to finish

What I built:

I used GPT to brainstorm game ideas, develop rules and create game dynamics. I used Midjourney for the key art to design the game (with quite a lot of human intervention).

The results:

Over 100 packs of Spice Ships sold to date
