Introduction
Prompt engineering · AI-assisted building
Ideas into useful software.
I use prompts, new models and AI-assisted development to turn rough ideas into practical applications, experiments and websites.

Selected build
A place for the work to grow.
Starting with something honest: the site you are looking at, and the thinking behind its current iteration.

Glen O’Donnell — Personal site
An evolving home for applications, experiments and notes shaped through AI-assisted development.
The brief
Give ideas, projects and observations a clear home.
The approach
Editorial structure, direct language and evidence first.
Built with
Next.js · React · Cloudflare · AI-assisted development
Active investigations
On the bench.
Prompt systems
Clearer instructions. Better results.
Testing ways to make prompts more deliberate, repeatable and easier to evaluate.
Application building
Ideas made tangible.
Using AI-assisted development to move quickly from a rough thought to a working interface.
Model field notes
A practical record of change.
Keeping track of what improves, what breaks and what becomes possible as new tools arrive.
Ideas into working things
How I work
A practical approach to digital work.
I try to understand the real problem, make a useful version early, test what changes and keep a clear record of what I learn.
Understand first
Clarify the problem, the constraints and the desired result before reaching for tools.
Make it real early
A working version reveals more than a perfect plan. Build, test and refine from evidence.
Leave a useful record
Good work should be understandable by the next person—and by your future self.
