I make software for finance, data, and everyday problems, usually because a tool I needed didn't exist or wasn't good enough.

01 / FINANCE

Financial Calculator

An open-source, offline financial calculator with the keystroke model of a classic business calculator, rebuilt with the features I always wished the physical one had.

  • Undo, history, copy/paste, and a Define key that explains every function
  • TypeScript engine with automated reference tests
  • Runs in the browser and as an iPhone app
  • TypeScript
  • Expo / React Native
  • decimal.js
02 / INVESTING

Portfolio Optimizer

A web app for mean-variance portfolio optimization and walk-forward backtesting, built so the results can't cheat by peeking at future prices.

  • Max-Sharpe, min-volatility, and efficient-frontier portfolios

  • Ledoit-Wolf shrinkage covariance; Yahoo Finance or CSV data
  • Python
  • FastAPI

03 / VALUATION

DCF Model

A discounted-cash-flow research pipeline and cost-of-capital dashboard that pulls real market and fundamentals data to estimate CAPM and WACC.

  • Web dashboard for ticker, date range, and benchmark selection
  • Jupyter notebooks for the underlying analysis
  • Python
  • Jupyter
  • Pandas
04 / LEARNING

AI Assist

A desktop visual-learning workbench: ask for a 3D model, chart, or diagram, click on any part of it, and ask a follow-up about just that piece.

  • Interactive 3D scenes, charts, and diagrams drawn by an AI tutor
  • Select a part to carry its context into the next question
  • Save and reopen lessons with their visuals and conversation
  • TypeScript
  • Electron
  • React
  • Three.js

About

I'm a student who likes building things that solve problems I actually have. Most of my projects start as frustration with an existing tool and end up as something I use every day.

Lately I've been focused on finance: valuation models, portfolio construction, and calculators that are faster and clearer than the ones I had to use.
