Strategic Operator | AI & Finance
I build AI tools that solve real problems - the kind that save people hours of manual work every week.
My projects include RAG-powered agents for strategic analysis and decision support, automation systems that cut through operational busywork, and equity research platforms that extract insights from financial data.
Most of what I build uses Claude, Python, and whatever tool gets the job done fastest.
