I just published something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
I’ve spent the last several months learning, building, breaking, and rebuilding with AI.
What started as curiosity about AI and software turned into something much bigger: learning how to actually engineer systems with AI — and eventually combining that with my interest in trading and finance.
I’m now moving toward quantitative systems engineering, building research infrastructure, trading systems, financial software, and experimenting with how far I can push AI-assisted engineering.
I wrote about the journey — the mistakes, failures, lessons, AI experiments, projects, and why I decided to build instead of waiting for someone to give me “real experience.”
From using AI → engineering with AI → building quantitative systems.
If you're interested in AI, software, trading, or building things from scratch, I’d love for you to read it. 🚀
👇 The full story is here:

This is the beginning of a much bigger experiment.
Learning. Building. Testing. Breaking. Rebuilding.
And seeing how far I can actually take it.

I’ve built an entire Kajabi business system, website and all, with AI in hours.
Now I’m turning that process into a workflow other people can use.
It brings together the steps, instructions, and checks that guide AI from your initial idea through the build and launch. You use your own AI tools, with a clear process to follow.
This is for anyone starting a business on Kajabi, improving an existing one, or building for clients.
I’ve already done the build. What I’m developing now is the way to put that process in your hands. I’ll be sharing more soon. Who wants first dibs on access?
Building a whole Kajabi system with AI in hours is impressive. Looking forward to seeing the workflow.

Think about how much time you spend every week doing the same things.
Replying to customer emails.
Following up with potential clients.
Updating spreadsheets.
Managing leads.
Moving information between applications.
Sending reminders and notifications.
Now ask yourself:
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆?
Many repetitive business tasks can be automated, yet businesses continue spending valuable hours doing them manually.

Imagine a workflow where:
• A customer submits an inquiry, and their details are automatically recorded.
• Incoming emails are categorized, and relevant replies are drafted for review.
• New leads are added to your CRM without manual data entry.
• Important tasks trigger notifications and reminders automatically.
• Your business applications exchange information without constant copying and pasting.
• AI helps process documents, organize information, and handle repetitive administrative work.

I've launched my new service on Contra:
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀
I build workflows using n8n, Python, and APIs to connect business applications, reduce repetitive work, and simplify daily operations.
My approach is simple:
• Understand your existing business process.
• Identify the repetitive tasks taking up your time.
• Build an automation workflow around your actual needs.
• Test the workflow and make sure it performs as intended.

You don't have to automate everything overnight. Sometimes, solving just one repetitive problem is the best place to start.
Your time should go toward growing your business, not repeating tasks that a system could handle.
