I'm a master's student in market finance, and I spend the rest of my time coming up with projects such as a knowledge base of my own, agents that run unattended on a server, interface prototypes and research work.
The company I founded in 2026, and the app it sells. Watanabe brings market quotes, economic news, your portfolio and your spending into a single app. Bank statements are read and encrypted on the device, without going through the server. In private beta on macOS, with a web version.
A personal knowledge base I run from the terminal. Everything I read goes through the same chain, intake then review then writing into a local wiki, under a rule that refuses to record anything it hasn't verified: any figure needs two independent sources, and every page cites the ones it came from.
The agent that keeps Odyssée running. Nobody starts it: it makes its own rounds across my machine and my server, checks disks, memory, services and backups, repairs what breaks and reports the rest. What it may write to is a closed list, and my personal files aren't on it.
Job hunting, delegated. It reads the listings of more than 100 employers around the clock and keeps only the ones that meet my criteria on length, location, date… They are forwarded to a chat channel, or by email, with only the application left to make.

What I open every day, grouped by use: office work, data analysis, notes, the assistants that search and read back, the editor and the repository where the code lives, and the terminal everything else starts from.
