    Projects

    Things I've built and shipped on my own time.

    Personal work outside the bank — agentic AI for post-trade operations, built on a fictional broker/dealer. Source on GitHub, deployed to production.

    01 / AGENTIC AILive demo

    FinOps AI — Agentic Trade & Settlement Operations

    An AI operations assistant for a fully simulated broker/dealer. Ask "why didn't trade T100245 settle?" and the agent plans an investigation, calls bank systems through 9 MCP servers (28 tools), retrieves SOPs and prior incidents, determines root cause with cited evidence, and executes the fix only after human approval. Every step is traced, audited and scored against a golden scenario suite (8/9 passing, n=3).
