Before You Read Anything Else

Everything else here is shaped with heavy AI assistance. The stories, projects, and experiences are real, but the writing, structure, and presentation are part of a much bigger experiment in what these tools can help me make.

Overview

This is the one post on the site written directly by me. The stories, projects, and experiences here are real, but nearly all of the writing and presentation across the site is created with heavy AI assistance as part of a personal experiment in what these tools can help me build.

A Note About This Site

My name is David Fauci, and this post is the only thing you will read here that has been written directly by me.

Everything else you see and read on this site is generated with heavy use of AI tools. The stories, projects, and experiences are real, but they are created and shared through the use of tools that let me accomplish things I would not normally be able to accomplish, in a time frame I would not normally be able to accomplish them.

I have never done formal training or research on writing an iPhone app, front-end web development, or blogging. Part of the point of this site is to explore what becomes possible when I use the tools available to me more aggressively and more intentionally.

The goal of this site is threefold: to share who I am personally and professionally, to explore my own no-code limits, and to improve my ability to leverage the tools at my disposal in ways that can improve my life personally and professionally.
