In the field
The actual workflow
From a rough brief to a live site: how I use Claude, Codex, and Cloudflare without pretending I came from software.
Zero-Code Grunt
Same grit.
New tools.
I’m a Marine veteran and telecom/infrastructure tradesman learning to build real websites and tools with AI. This is the straight version of the work—what holds up, what does not, and how to do it without a coding background.

Founder’s note
Built different.
I did two riverine combat tours in Iraq. After the Corps, I worked in telecom and infrastructure. I know systems, problem solving, and putting in the reps. Coding was not my background.
GruntBuilt is for people who have useful experience already and want to turn it into working digital tools. No buzzwords. No borrowed authority. Just the process, with the misses left in.
Build log
Follow the work.
Short build-log episodes for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram. Real projects, plain language, no polished-demo theater.
On the bench
Tools that earn their spot
Small tools for real problems—intake, estimates, content, operations, and the stuff that usually gets buried in a spreadsheet.
Under the hood
LS tuning projects
Build notes for the car guys too: practical tools, data, and experiments for the LS community.
What’s coming
Build skills for people who do real work.
The course and community are in the works. They are not checkout-ready yet. Get on the list if you want the first build log and opening details.
Upcoming course
The AI build workflow.
Self-paced lessons on turning an idea into a working website or tool with AI. You will see the real sequence: brief, build, test, fix, and deploy.
Upcoming community
Weekend build crew.
A paid monthly community is planned for weekend build challenges and live Q&A. Details will be shared with the waitlist first.
Done-for-you work
Your website has a job to do.
Through EdgeCraft Systems, I rebuild practical sites for local businesses that have outgrown GoDaddy, Wix, WordPress, or a stale page that no one wants to touch.
