Selected projects

  • The Pulse Engine

    An open-source market analysis platform that merges price data with news sentiment into one explainable signal, runs the whole scan on your own machine, and shows its working for every score it prints.

    Python · Python · Streamlit · yfinance · VADER sentiment
  • Correlation Engine

    A daily correlation scan across news, markets and government data that prints, with equal visual weight, what the identical pipeline finds in pure noise. It has published zero edges so far, and that is the correct result.

    Python · Python · GitHub Actions · pandas · SciPy
  • Digital Footprint Cleaner

    A local-only web app that finds where your personal information is exposed online, tells you honestly when a check failed rather than calling it clean, and generates the data-removal requests under the law that actually applies to you.

    Python · Python · Flask · HTML · CSS
  • bruhswer

    A Windows browser wrapper that measures a fixed set of security properties before it will let the browser start, refuses to launch if any of them cannot be proved, and reports the things it cannot enforce as not enforceable instead of showing green.

    Python · Python · Tkinter · Windows Firewall · Windows ACLs
  • Quantum Neural Horror

    A neuroevolution sandbox in one Python file: a network that adds and removes its own neurons, evolves its activation functions by genetic selection, and draws every step of it while it runs.

    Python · Python · NumPy · matplotlib
  • Campus Visitor Access

    A product ideation study of visitor entry at Vijaybhoomi University: three interviews, eight card sorts and five tree tests, ending at a modelling problem rather than at a redesigned form.

    HTML · HTML · CSS · Card sorting · Tree testing
  • NCAA Outcome Predictor

    A basketball prediction pipeline that fetches real NCAA games from ESPN, trains six models against each other, deploys the winner, and retrains itself on a schedule. Its accuracy went down when it was fixed, and that is the part worth reading.

    Python · Python · scikit-learn · Flask · pandas
  • AZ-Lite

    A compact chess engine that learns entirely by playing itself. Monte Carlo tree search guided by a policy and value network, with the whole pipeline in the open: self-play, replay data, training loop, checkpoints, and a command line you can play against.
