Projects built around real risk.

Case studies that show how I analyze, design, secure, automate, and communicate—not just the tools I have used.

01 / FEATURED

Secure API Trading & Monitoring Platform

Built a Python automation platform that integrates Coinbase Advanced Trade with external market-intelligence APIs. The system combines continuous monitoring, asynchronous processing, and configurable paper/live modes with security-focused execution controls.

Multi-strategy market scanning, signal qualification, and position monitoring
Structured logging, state persistence, timeout/retry handling, and duplicate-order prevention
Watchdog recovery, process supervision, reconciliation, and operational alerting
Configurable position, loss, re-entry, and shared-treasury safeguards

Job Application API v1.4.8

Built a Python and FastAPI application that uses SQLite, REST APIs, and browser automation to support job discovery, role matching, application preparation, and a human-reviewed workflow. The public repository includes the application modules, browser extension, configuration examples, installer, requirements, Control Center, and startup scripts while keeping private runtime information separate.
