About Me

I'm Shaun, a solo developer & content creator at RetroGhostLabs. I build indie games and share AI-accelerated development workflows. I create YouTube content about developer productivity and release open-source templates for AI-assisted development.

What I Do

I build games, create content, and design AI-powered frameworks that let solo developers move fast without burning out. My work focuses on:

  • BOZLY — AI-agnostic framework for domain-specific workspaces
  • Dual-AI development setups (Cline + Claude CLI)
  • Knowledge management for rapid iteration
  • Local LLM infrastructure and optimization

Open Source & Resources

My GitHub includes frameworks and templates for developers:

  • BOZLY Framework (multi-domain AI workspaces)
  • Obsidian Vault Templates (PARA + Zettelkasten)
  • AI Prompt Libraries & Domain Models
  • Game Design Documents & Templates
  • Development Infrastructure & Dotfiles

On the Side

When I'm not coding or recording:

  • Writing music & sculpting tone chains
  • Tuning smart home setups
  • Exploring retro tech & creative storytelling

My Philosophy

Build Fast, Iterate Faster

Heavy AI assistance for acceleration. Prototype first, polish later. Ship working code over perfect code.

Self-Hosted > Cloud Dependencies

Local LLM server saves thousands annually. No rate limits, no API costs, full control over infrastructure.

Document Everything

Markdown-first docs that feed back into AI tools for better context. Everything version controlled.

Playful & Scrappy

Humor + tech + nostalgia. Slightly chaotic but organized underneath. Creative experimentation encouraged.
