What I'm focused on at the moment — current direction, not history.

Currently working on

Story of a Stock — a personal AI platform turning dense company disclosures into investment decisions. Vector retrieval gives fundamental investors a breadth of analysis that wasn't reachable pre-LLM.
Toptal client engagements across a cruise-booking platform and a freight-domain marketing site.

Currently learning

gstack — Garry Tan's open-source toolkit of Claude Code skills for agentic coding scaffolding.
Token-efficient visual RAG — extracting signal from diagram-heavy investor decks without blowing the token budget.
