About

I'm a CS senior at Colby and the founder of Iyons Collective. I build automation systems for content, marketing, and operations.

The main project is AMD (Alpha Mindset Daily), an automated Instagram pipeline that generates the image, writes the caption, and prepares the post. The only manual step is approval. Stack is n8n, GPT-4.1, and Stable Diffusion running on my own hardware.

I've also shipped PromptForge, a tool that rewrites prompts using established engineering patterns, and PipBuddy, a Chrome extension live on the Web Store.

Graduating this May. Open to roles in marketing automation, content operations, or anywhere the work is turning repeat tasks into systems.

Featured project

Alpha Mindset Daily
/ AMD

Live on Instagram → @alpha.mindset_daily

A fully automated Instagram pipeline. AMD generates the image, writes the caption, formats the post, and routes it through an approval step. Once approved, it publishes through the Meta Graph API.

From manual Pipeline Automated
01 · Manual AMD founding post Daniel in the Lions Den, manually created June 2025
June 2025
The founding post. Hand-made before the pipeline existed. Each one took hours.
02 · Pipeline AMD post Restraint Becomes Weapon, image and caption generated by the pipeline
Spring 2026
Image and caption generated by the pipeline. I reviewed and posted manually.
03 · Automated AMD post Captains Do Not Waver, generated and published end to end
Spring 2026
Generated and published end to end. The only person in the loop is the approver.

Stack

  • Workflown8n · self-hosted, Docker, Windows
  • CaptionsGPT-4.1 + custom anchor randomizer (88 visuals × 7 categories)
  • ImagesStable Diffusion · local, Quadro P1000

  • PublishingMeta Graph API

Why it matters

Most content workflows are repetitive labor. Research, drafting, formatting, scheduling, posting.

~80%

AMD removes that. Approval is the only step that requires a person.

Also shipped
PromptForge
Web app · React · Vercel

Takes a raw prompt and rewrites it using prompt engineering patterns. Built fast as a prototype with significant AI-assisted development. The point was to test whether restructuring raw prompts into engineered form actually changes output quality.

PipBuddy
Chrome extension · Web Store

Chrome extension I built, packaged, and shipped to the Chrome Web Store. The full ship and deploy loop end to end.

Harmonize Welcome Center

Architecture as system.

Course project for TD365: Architectural Imaging at Colby (Prof. Jim Thurston, Fall 2025). Designed and modeled a proposed welcome center sited across from Miller Library, drawing the campus inward through a circular core and outstretched wings. Built in Vectorworks 3D.

The project opened a Colby News feature on the course: "Technical Thinking and Creativity Meld in Architecture Course".

"Every decision affects the structure, the flow, and how people experience the space."
— Colby News, January 2026

Same way I think about systems. The design problems just look different.

Background

CS senior at Colby College, graduating May 2026. Football player on Colby's varsity team and an All-NESCAC honoree. Launched AMD between seasons and have been iterating on it ever since.

Coursework spans 3D modeling, digital imaging, experimental filmmaking, and museum studies.

Building Iyons Collective alongside school. Available full time starting June.
