Projects

Apex — Trade & Risk Intelligence Platform

In Progress
2026·personal·Sole developer — designed and built end-to-end

An AI-powered incident intelligence platform for trading operations that eliminates 20–45 minutes of manual context gathering per alert. When a trade break or risk limit breach fires, Apex automatically assembles a complete operational briefing — position context, risk state, counterparty history, and regulatory obligations — so the operations team can act in seconds instead of minutes.

Cognis

Completed
2025·personal·Sole developer — designed and built end-to-end

An AI-powered incident intelligence platform that sits between alerting tools and on-call engineers. When an alert fires, Cognis intercepts it, runs it through a RAG-augmented tool-calling agent that retrieves relevant runbooks and investigates live signals, and delivers a structured incident brief to the engineer — reducing mean time to resolution.
