Our work  /  Data and finance automation

AI trading research

A research platform for testing whether language-model signals plus strict risk rules can trade well, built to fail closed. The equities bot scans a watchlist every fifteen minutes in market hours through Interactive Brokers' paper gateway; the crypto bot runs around the clock on a testnet and refuses to start if it is pointed at a live exchange.

The brief

Good trades, not lots of trades.

We wanted to know, with evidence, whether AI-generated signals are worth anything once you apply the risk discipline a real desk would insist on. That means a system that is honest about its results, cannot be talked into a bad position, and keeps running when the broker connection drops at 3am.

Under the bonnet

FastAPI, schedulers and a lot of guard rails.

Python with FastAPI, SQLAlchemy and APScheduler, ib_async against IB Gateway for equities, ccxt for crypto, Gemini with Groq and local Ollama fallbacks for signals, Chart.js dashboards, Docker and systemd on a dedicated VPS with webhook deploys.

What it shows

  • Data pipelines, scheduling and dashboards for time-critical systems.
  • AI decisions wrapped in deterministic safety rules.
  • Resilience engineering: watchdogs, sentinels, runbooks.
  • Nothing here is investment advice, and none of it trades real money.

AI social media manager

Social Jen

Give it one idea, a product photo or a video and it drafts, schedules and publishes to nine social networks, writes graded Etsy listings and renders your 3D models. Nothing goes out until you approve it.

AI to 3D print pipeline

modelgen

Describe a part or drop in a picture and get a watertight, print-ready STL. Exact parametric CAD written by a language model, or organic meshes from AI, both validated before a slicer ever sees them.
