Trader, builder, occasionally writer. Based in Nazaré, Portugal. I've been watching markets for decades and building systems to make sense of them. These days I swing trade forex, commodities and indices using a quantitative framework I built myself: part signal engine, part accountability layer. Outside the charts: I write. I automate things that shouldn't be manual. I have a half-finished kinetic sculpture that responds to sound frequencies. And somewhere in between all of that, a book called Merge Conflict — Protect the Main Branch. This space is where I keep track of what I'm building, what I'm thinking, and what I'm not ready to abandon yet.
