Monstra
My open-source research project. I use it to work through problems in quantitative research, optimization, and applied machine learning, then ship the result as something you can actually use and read the source of.
Each project is built end to end, from database and backend services through to the interfaces people use, deployment, and production monitoring. The code is public, and the research behind it is written up and published.

Monstra.botQuantitative research and automationThe core platform. An end-to-end system for quantitative research and automated trading, built from data pipelines that turn raw market observations into normalized and clustered features, evaluation infrastructure for comparing models and strategies under explicit information cutoffs, and dashboards for monitoring portfolio state, algorithm behavior, and execution history. Validation runs through broker-executed paper trading, so results come from actual orders, fills, and positions.
Monstra.proThe Monstra Pro BoxA dedicated device that runs your Monstra bots locally and trades on your own Alpaca account. Execution stays on hardware you control rather than someone else's server, with a display for real-time portfolio performance and trade activity.
Monstra.guideTurn everyday work into a living AI textbookA workflow documentation platform. Senior staff record themselves doing a task, and those recordings become interactive step-by-step guides with screenshots and explanations for training and onboarding. Recording state stays visible, guides pass through human review, and sensitive applications or screenshots can be excluded before anything becomes shared knowledge.
Monstra.studyHow I would run a schoolA blueprint for how I would run a school, built out as a working site rather than written up as a document. It takes what I learned teaching mathematics and computer science and turns it into a concrete plan for how a school could be structured.
hexww2.worldEarth on a Hex GlobeA World War II strategy world built on a hex-tiled globe, so the whole Earth is one continuous playable grid rather than a flat map with distorted edges.
park-quest.buzz14 photo challenges, one phone eachA photo scavenger hunt built for groups outdoors. Everyone brings a phone, works through fourteen photo challenges, and either joins someone else's hunt with a code or sets up a new one.
Open Source
The code behind the sites, and the notebooks behind each research paper, are public on GitHub.
