Hi everyone!
I'm new here, so I wanted to introduce myself.
I learned the basics of Python about two years ago, and a year ago I started a degree in AI and Data Science. I'm currently in my third semester, and I'm focused on developing my programming and data skills while building my first real-world experience.
For now, I'm looking to contribute to smaller tasks such as data cleaning, data analysis, automation, and logical scripting. I don't expect to jump directly into complex projects; my goal is to help with the work I can handle while learning how software and data projects actually work in the industry.
I'm also very interested in how AI fits into programming. In my personal projects, I try to use AI primarily as a learning and reasoning tool rather than as a replacement for understanding or writing the code myself. I like using it more as a Socratic teacher: asking questions, challenging my reasoning, explaining concepts, and helping me find mistakes.
At the same time, I recognize that AI is becoming almost indispensable in modern development. But I believe that understanding the fundamentals is just as important. I want to learn how things work, not simply how to get an AI to produce them.
Currently, I'm working on a physics simulator as a personal project. It's still a work in progress, but I hope to share my progress here in the future.
I'm here to learn, contribute, and get a better understanding of what working in the industry is actually like. If there are small tasks where I can be useful while continuing to learn, I'd be happy to help.
Best regards!

AI-Agent Reporting Automation
Production AI-agent service that turns stakeholder requests into verified BI reports end to end: a request posted in Basecamp triggers a gated agent workflow that validates SQL against approved business logic, creates or updates the Metabase report, and verifies every write by exact read-back before replying with evidence. Containerized Node.js services (Docker Compose) with a fully offline test suite and CI. Built to cut the analytics team's ad-hoc reporting load - and to prove AI agents can be trusted with production writes when properly gated.
Solid setup. One thing that has saved me a lot in write-capable agents: log every agent turn (prompt, tool calls, outcome) to an audit table and add a replay mode — when a report comes out wrong, you can reproduce the exact run instead of debugging blind. Also worth setting a...
Real-Time Financial Ledger & Analytics Dashboard
A full-stack web application for automated bookkeeping, liquidity tracking, and cash flow visual analytics.
Really solid use case for combining automated bookkeeping with real-time analytics. The liquidity and cash-flow visibility is especially valuable—having financial data updated continuously makes the dashboard much more actionable than traditional reporting.
● Redefined the firm's data architecture by building Amicus Hub, a company-wide database organising all client, company and internal data, with an Action Tracker monitoring every live engagement.
● Built an automation stack increasing efficiency across the firm's core workflows:
○ Pitch Deck Automation: cleans data, runs financial analysis and generates client decks. 2-3 hours down to 15-20 minutes.
○ Monthly MIS Drafter: cross-references engagement letters and prior reports to draft new ones. 40-50% less manual effort.
○ Automation Opportunity Scanner: surfaces client AI automation opportunities, now sold as a managed transformation service.
● Built the outbound engine: 1,200 targeted logistics prospects, financials on 400+, distilled to a 70-name priority shortlist.
Impressive stack. One thing that makes or breaks a firm-wide hub like this: data ownership. A central DB only stays current if every record type has a named owner and a defined update cadence — otherwise the tracker starts flagging stale engagements and people stop trusting it....
