Career path

Platforms I've built and shipped

Solo-built, deployed, and serving real users. All open source.

Financial Economics

FinObservatory

Open financial-economics observatory: two centuries of banking, currency, and sovereign-debt crises, a health score for every insured US bank, credit cycles, and a grounded AI analyst that never generates a number itself. Every figure is computed from primary sources at build time; the analyst's published evaluation scores 122 of 123.

12 observatories and toolkits

A constellation of specialized research platforms, each named from mythology, each solving a different problem in economics and policy. The Country Dossier stitches six of them together into one country-level view; the Global Atlas is the counterpart global view.
