Code. Markets.
Curiosity.

I build software to explore how things work. Lately, that means machine learning and trading systems.

How to read this

Live order flow drives 512 recurrent units with fast, medium and slow fading memory. Neuron brightness reflects their activity; the three output traces show mean absolute activity in each memory group. Selected connections are shown. The shape is inspired by a fly brain, not a reconstruction of the FlyWire connectome.

The readout measures current best-bid/ask queue sizes and spread. Bid-heavy means over 60% of displayed top-of-book size is on the bid; ask-heavy means under 40%. These are current conditions, not price predictions. The 30-second forecast output has not been trained or validated and remains disabled.

Different systems.
Same curiosity.

I spent six years in the U.S. Air Force working on biomedical equipment. Finding out how a system works—and why it doesn’t—was part of the job.

That instinct followed me into software. Now I’m exploring machine learning, markets, and the space where a good question becomes something you can build.
