A live workshop experience developed for a paid professional cohort in the financial services industry. Full details are omitted per confidentiality obligations. Deliverables included two interactive participant games, a multiplayer web application deployed on GitHub Pages with a real-time Google Sheets backend, a structured Zoom facilitation script, and a formal proposal document.

• Live Web App: Multiplayer team strategy game built in HTML/CSS/JavaScript, connected to a Google Sheets database via Google Apps Script.
• Instructional Design: Two-game session arc engineered to introduce fintech concepts through participant discovery rather than direct instruction.
• Facilitation Documentation: Complete debrief script, discussion prompts, and stakeholder-facing proposal written for live Zoom delivery.

Built to centralize and simplify personal finance, PathWise is a comprehensive dashboard that demystifies a user's financial trajectory. By combining robust mathematical simulations with plain-language insights, this tool bridges the gap between raw data and informed decision-making.

• Multi-Scenario Comparison: The Compound Growth engine calculates Base, High, and Low-interest scenarios simultaneously, visualizing the massive long-term impact of even a 1-2% rate difference.
• Weighted Credit Analysis: A holistic health analyzer that weights Utilization (30%), Payment History (35%), and History Age (15%) to provide an estimated grade and prioritized improvement advice.
• Dynamic Financial Insights: An intelligent sidebar that updates in real-time to provide context-aware educational blurbs, explaining complex concepts like "Simple vs. Compound Interest" and "Amortization."
• Privacy-First Persistence: Features a dual-layer storage system allowing users to toggle between temporary tab-only sessions or encrypted local storage for long-term planning without a server.

A browser-based interactive trainer designed to build intuitive understanding of expected value (EV) in real-world decisions. This tool helps users develop the quick math skills needed for financial analysis, game theory, and probability-driven thinking.

Inspired by quant training programs and behavioral economics, the EV Math Trainer presents realistic scenarios involving risk, payout probabilities, and cost analysis, all within a fast-paced, feedback-rich interface. Users select difficulty and number of rounds, then solve EV problems based on real-world contexts like lotteries, games, investment trades, and more.

This trainer is built to make mental models of risk versus reward more concrete through repetition, immediate feedback, and smart hints that reveal underlying structure.

• Realistic Scenarios: Questions modeled after lotteries, games, decision science, and behavioral finance applications.
• Smart Feedback: Hints and scoring help users recognize patterns and mental shortcuts in EV estimation.
• Flexible Learning Design: Supports multiple difficulties, round-based challenges, and performance review.

A browser-based market behavior prototype built to simulate the psychological and strategic dynamics of trading under asymmetric information. Inspired by the Citibank training game from the autobiography, "The Trading Game" by Gary Stevenson, this simulator models bluffing, arbitrage, and quote interpretation through a structured engine. This simulator is designed to make the fundamentals of market psychology and strategic deception intuitively accessible.

• Dynamic Market Engine: Implements randomized volatility algorithms to simulate realistic market unpredictability.
• Portfolio Analytics: Real-time tracking of positions, gains/losses, and total equity with visual indicators.
• Interactive Experience: Responsive execution controls for instant buy/sell orders with transaction logging.

Built out of frustration with opening dozens of tabs to track watchlists. This prototype tool pulls the latest market news, SEC Filings, and Investor Relations updates into a single, clean dashboard. Reduced the time to compile daily watchlist report from an estimated 30+ minutes of manual tab management to under 60 seconds of automated scanning.

• Consolidated Dashboard: Plug in up to 5 stock tickers and a date range for instant updates.
• Organized Intelligence: Each ticker gets its own column, sorted by time for efficient analysis.
• Smart Filtering: Integrated fuzzy keyword search to filter results for specific catalysts, even with typos.
• High Efficiency: Parallel scanning engine delivers comprehensive results in seconds.

A functional prototype of an experiential learning simulator that teaches systemic financial thinking. Players manage net worth, career growth, and personal relationships while navigating a dynamic market economy. It bridges the gap between static budgeting tools and real-world volatility by modeling how long-term investments and short-term life choices interact.

• Investment Systems: Advanced Bond Market with variable maturities and dynamic default risks tied to the economy.
• Market Simulation: Real-time-style stock price fluctuations with sentiment, volume, and economic bias indicators.
• Identity & Inclusion: Enhanced mechanics for Gender, Sexuality, and Neurodivergence (ADHD/Autism) management.
• Rescue System: Multi-layered fail-safes to ensure game stability and accessible menu interfaces.

A prototype professional portfolio website template designed for ease of use and customization. Built to help friends and colleagues launch their careers with a polished web presence.

• Easy Customization: Structured code with clear comments and an "Admin Mode" for live text editing.
• Professional Design: Clean, modern UI with responsive layout and print-friendly styling.
• Zero Dependencies: Built with pure HTML, CSS, and Vanilla JS for fast performance and simple hosting.
