About
I’m a trader who builds automation and small AI agents. I write about what works, what breaks, and where human judgment still belongs.
01 — Who
I'm a trader based in San Diego. I also build automation and small AI agents.
Outside of work I build mostly for myself: research crawlers, feed watchers, and a personal assistant that helps maintain this site's build log. I write about what they teach me. I separate repeatable automation from systems that make judgment calls. That distinction determines the checks and approval boundaries I build around them.
This site is my public log — what shipped, what got patched, what got killed — plus an index of longer pieces on Substack. No pitch, no funnel — just the work and what I'm learning.
