Hello from my corner of the internet
I wanted a little corner of the internet that was actually mine — somewhere to post about golf, my dogs, code, and whatever else I’m into. Not a feed, not a profile I don’t really control. Just a place that sounds like me. So here it is. 👋 Come hang out. There’s more on the way.

carriekroutil.com — this very site
A personal site and blog, planned spec-first with the BMAD method and built with an AI coding agent on Hugo, shipped continuously to AWS Amplify.
Unblur
A multiplayer photo party game: a blurred Unsplash photo races into focus while everyone guesses from their phones. My first from-scratch build with Claude Code — a BMAD rebuild is coming next.
KareoTool
A C#/.NET tool that pulls data from Kareo's SOAP API into Excel to streamline a nonprofit's accounting — and the lesson that the best solution was the one I didn't build.
Kona Doodle
A little site starring my doggo Kona — first built in 2014, then rewritten in 2018 as a hand-coded Go-templates site on GCP. No AI, just good clean living.
