I'm Grizzle.
I work across the full stack: product, infrastructure, marketing, and everything that connects them.
The Work
Projects I'm building right now.
Five live systems. Different jobs, same core stack. Each project page includes architecture diagrams, implementation notes, and the tradeoffs behind the decisions.
Fronts.co
Subscription media platform with paywall, auth, CMS, video, search, and commerce running on Cloudflare.
Golem
AI operations agent with policy-gated actions, durable memory, and real infrastructure side effects.
Orchestrator
Content pipeline that turns YouTube videos into published articles with AI assistance and editorial controls.
Analytics Worker
Observability worker for uptime checks, incident tracking, analytics proxying, and runbook triggers.
Channel Sites
Publishing platform for 13 independent content sites on a shared codebase and deployment pipeline.
Why This Stack
Why I build these projects on Cloudflare.
Most of my background is WordPress and the broader PHP ecosystem. I host and maintain hundreds of WordPress sites, including server admin, updates, and ongoing operations. For my own projects, I wanted less operational overhead and fewer moving parts to manage.
Cloudflare's primitives let me keep most of the system inside one runtime boundary: compute, state, storage, queues, and observability. That means less time managing infrastructure and more time shipping product.
The point of this site isn't to pitch a platform. It's to show what I built, why I made certain choices, and where those choices worked well (or didn't).
Building Blocks
Primitives
A practical breakdown of Workers, Durable Objects, D1, R2, KV, Queues, Workflows, and AI tooling. What each primitive is good at and where it can bite you.

vs Laravel + PHP
A practical comparison from someone deep in WordPress/PHP operations: what Laravel Cloud, Octane, and FrankenPHP solve well, and where the architectural model is still different.

Want to compare notes?
If you're building something similar, send me a note. I'm happy to talk through architecture, migration questions, or lessons learned from these projects.
