Trading research platform

Pre-launch

A full-stack research and education project I am currently building for myself, end to end.

ThoughtDrifter

A trading research and education blog built on Hugo. Custom canvas animations, bilingual setup, and a writing system that separates voice rules, draft state, and publish logic. Pre-launch.

TradingView MCP server integration

A Model Context Protocol server exposing 78 tools for reading and controlling a live TradingView chart from an AI agent. Integrated into my trading research workflow to automate chart analysis, indicator development, and Pine Script iteration.

Experiment

An experiment: could one developer, working with AI tools, take an AI-powered SaaS from a blank repo to production with real billing? DreamLair, a dream journal, answered yes. Subscription billing, prompt-engineered analysis with caching, rate limiting, and graceful fallbacks, all wired up against a model API and running live.

Full-stack build: React 18 + TypeScript front-end as an installable PWA with offline storage, .NET Core back-end, PostgreSQL via Supabase, JWT auth, Stripe subscriptions, Docker deployment behind a Caddy reverse proxy.

AI integration uses DigitalOcean's GenAI API with custom prompt engineering, response caching for cost control, and rate limiting. The challenging parts were the prompt eval loop and the subscription tier logic, not the model calls themselves.

The experiment did its job. Once it had answered its question, I shut the servers down in 2026 rather than pay to host a test, and kept the code as a reference build.
