At a Glance

What's working: You've built a genuinely impressive operational workflow — deploying Cloudflare Workers, migrating sites, and running live drip campaigns to students, all orchestrated through Claude Code. Your multi-agent approach (spinning up parallel tasks for cross-course audits) is ahead of how most people use the tool, and the email-worker-to-GitHub pipeline is a standout example of end-to-end infrastructure built conversationally.
