Projects
Most of these projects started with someone trying to get real work done. They are my way of exploring how thoughtful software can make complex workflows simpler, clearer, and more useful.
For Independent financial advisors
Advisor360
A commission management operating system for financial advisors — powered by FinHQ, a domain-first platform for advisory business logic, analytics, and AI.
Decision
Separate the advisor experience from a reusable domain-first platform, FinHQ.
For Frontend and backend teams
Specimen
A JSON inspection workbench for saving, sharing, understanding, annotating, and evolving payload contracts from real examples.
Decision
Keep contract inference separate from editing and persistence.
For Developers working with web content
QuickCrawl
A type-safe crawler API built to explore crawling, extraction, Markdown conversion, caching, rate limiting, and pipeline-oriented backend design.
Decision
Model crawl work as discrete pipeline stages behind a thin API.
For Import-export operators and customers
Syntara / TradeFlow
A public trade workflow platform built for my flatmate's dad's import–export business — catalogues, enquiries, supplier and customer workflows, documents, and AI-assisted business tools.
Decision
Separate the public catalogue from the operational trade data model.
For People improving touch typing
Octane Type
A typing practice tool focused on letter-level accuracy, mistake patterns, and feedback loops instead of only showing a final WPM score.
Decision
Keep practice minimal while the analytics layer carries the complexity.
