Welcome to my homepage. I follow financial markets closely and spend my spare time down a handful of tech rabbit holes. Mostly I vibe code, which is to say I describe software to a language model, argue with it for a while, and then put my name on what comes out. Two of those arguments are below, plus the rest of what's on this page.
Web application
Tracks a job search from first sighting to offer.
- Sweeps a catalogue of target firms for newly posted roles on a schedule.
- Classifies recruiting mail and moves the matching application to the stage it now belongs in.
- Keeps CVs, cover letters, interviews and the calendar attached to the application rather than to a folder.
- Local-first, built to scale into a multi-user cloud instance.
Built with: Next.js, TypeScript, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Tailwind, NextAuth, Claude Code

Terminal application
Drills an interview question bank on a spaced-repetition schedule.
- Extracts questions from PDFs, EPUBs, web pages and SEC filings.
- An admission gate resolves every candidate as new, duplicate or variant before it enters the bank.
- A second model audits what the first one extracted.
- Answers are graded against a rubric point by point, not against a model answer.
- One SQLite file you own.
Built with: Python, SQLite, FSRS, Claude Code
