Build Log

Updates

Daily and weekly entries — what we learned, what we shipped, what broke, and what we figured out.

MAR 31, 2026
Evolve Labs site goes live
Launched evolvelabs.company — the central hub for all projects with full case studies for LicenseHub, Diamond Data, and Evolve. Built as a multi-page static site, deployed through the same GitHub → Vercel workflow we use for everything. The portfolio is live. Now it grows.
MILESTONE
MAR 2026
LicenseHub — shipped in a day
Researched the $50B+ software reseller industry, identified the vulnerability in the middleman model, and built a complete product — marketing site, interactive dashboard, and working AI advisor powered by Claude. From research to deployed product in a single build session.
LICENSEHUB
MAR 23, 2026
Organized the chaos
Three active projects pulling in every direction. Created a master action plan, set up CLAUDE.md files for each project, installed Claude Code, and learned the git branch workflow. The shift from scattered to structured.
MILESTONE
MAR 23, 2026
Learned Claude Code
Moved from copy-pasting code in a chat window to working directly inside projects from the terminal. Built a practice project to get comfortable, then started using it for real work. A genuine level-up in how we build.
LEARNING
MAR 2026
Diamond Data — the fan-first platform takes shape
Built the Diamond Score system, daily leaders, weather impact analysis, hitter vs pitcher matchups, start/sit suggestions, and exportable rankings. A complete fantasy baseball intelligence tool — free, for the fans.
DIAMOND DATA
EARLY 2026
Evolve V1 shipped to production
35+ build sessions. Zero prior dev experience. A full React app with Supabase backend, deployed on Vercel, live at evolvelabs.app. Ten features spanning AI coaching, journaling, workout tracking, emotional logging, and more. The human operating system goes live.
EVOLVE
2025
The idea that started it all
Started exploring whether AI could be a genuine partner for someone with no coding background who wanted to build real products. The answer was yes — and Evolve was the proof.
