Projects & experiments
Tools I build when the question is interesting and the existing workflow gets in the way. Regulatory data, cricket tactics and a few paths through everyday knowledge.
8 projects
One research workspace for an adviser’s registration, brochure and holdings.
56,000+ adviser universe
Registration records, narrative brochures and institutional portfolios live in disconnected SEC datasets.
SEC bulk filings → SQLite store → FastMCP tools → Research UI
An atlas of everyday choices across psychology, culture and ethics.
Interactive decision atlas
Everyday preferences open deeper questions, but their connections to evidence can be hard to explore.
Everyday choices → Research sources → Cultural lenses → Reflection
A cricket fielding planner that understands the match rules.
Powerplay rule validation
Generic tactical boards do not account for powerplays, squad roles or batter handedness.
Squad roles → Field geometry → Rule validation → Tactical board
A study workspace for alternative investments and portfolio allocation.
Level I & II topic guides
A broad alternative-investments curriculum needs a connected, exam-aligned reading structure.
Curriculum topics → Study notes → Portfolio concepts → Review
Match-phase templates for cricket captains and strategists.
Match-phase field templates
A static field diagram cannot explain how a captain changes the plan over a match.
Match phase → Field templates → Over timeline → Tactical comparison
Compare adviser disclosures without starting with a pile of PDFs.
Adviser comparison research
Public adviser data still requires too much clicking and cleanup before useful comparison.
SEC disclosures → Normalization → Adviser filters → Comparison
From a manager name to filings, holdings and useful context.
Entity resolution + 13F holdings
Diligence workflows repeatedly stitch the same manager story together across separate sources.
Manager name → CRD / CIK resolution → Filings & holdings → Synthesis
A clean tournament companion with schedules, teams and brackets.
48 teams · 104 scheduled matches
Tournament coverage often buries match schedules and team context beneath clutter.
Tournament data → Match tables → Team profiles → Bracket simulator
Small, self-contained demonstrations. Inspect the assumptions before treating an output as evidence.
Start with BlackRock or Blackstone, then compare assets and clients for the exact registered advisers. The same question behind my Form ADV essay: what sits beneath a familiar firm name?
No matching manager. Try another name.
Official Form ADV snapshots, checked October 14, 2026. Figures cover each named legal adviser and its filing perimeter, not the parent group's assets. Item 5.F reports regulatory AUM; Item 5.D reports client types. Fee schedules require separate Part 2 review and remain unverified. No 13F holdings are loaded.
Three illustrative sleeves. Drag an allocation to rebalance the other two proportionally.
Illustrative annual returns: 6.5%, 9%, 6%. Volatility: 10%, 18%, 12%. Pairwise correlations: 0.65, 0.40, 0.50. Risk-free rate: 3%. The first sleeve already contains 60% public stocks and 40% bonds. Its preset allocates the entire portfolio to that sleeve. Private Credit Heavy is a blended sleeve proxy, not a separately modeled credit asset.
Variance is wᵀΣw; Sharpe is (return minus risk-free rate) divided by volatility. Correlation is the allocation-weighted average between distinct sleeves, undefined for one sleeve. The curve is the non-dominated feasible envelope on a 2% long-only grid. Drawdown proxy is max(0, 2 × volatility minus return), not an estimated historical maximum or a forecast. These are assumptions for learning, not market observations or investment advice.
