SYSTEMS I’VE BUILT

I don’t just use systems. I build them.

I build reusable systems to organize information, test decisions, check evidence, and improve the work with use.

Investment Research & Decision System

The problem

  • Investment decisions can be distorted by incomplete research, weak assumptions, or convincing narratives.
  • Rigorous research across filings, earnings, valuation, risks, and alternatives takes substantial time.
  • I want AI to speed up the work without outsourcing the decision.

The system

  • Uses AI as a research and analytical assistant—not a stock picker.
  • Evaluates each holding in the context of the whole portfolio.
  • Checks important evidence and calculations before relying on them.
  • Tests taxes, liquidity, concentration, risk, opportunity cost, and credible alternatives.
  • Challenges the recommendation before I act; a companion workbook keeps changing portfolio facts separate from the durable method.

What it demonstrates: Investment research · Financial analysis · AI workflow design · Excel · Risk analysis

Current status

Built and in active use. I refine it as real research exposes better questions, stronger controls, or unnecessary steps.

See the system in practice

Example shown with fictional portfolio data to protect my financial privacy. The structure, calculations, and analytical approach reflect the system I built.

Example portfolio look-through showing company exposure owned directly, exposure inside funds, total exposure, and a comparison chart.
Company-Level Look-Through I built this system to combine stocks owned directly with additional exposure hidden inside funds. That lets me see how much of the portfolio really depends on each company—not just what appears on the holdings list.
Example portfolio analysis showing total exposure by investment type, geography, and industry using fictional data.
Whole-Portfolio Exposure The same model rolls those holdings into broader views by investment type, geography, and industry. This helps me see what the portfolio actually contains, where exposure is concentrated, and how much of that exposure comes from funds.
Example portfolio analysis showing overlap findings, why they matter, next-step questions, and review status.
From Analysis to Decisions I use the results to identify overlap, clarify what role each investment is playing, and surface the next questions I need to answer before making a change. The goal is not just to produce numbers—it is to build a system that supports better decisions.

AI Quality & Recommendation System

The problem

  • AI can sound polished while being incomplete, weakly sourced, inconsistent, or overconfident.
  • Important work needs more than a good prompt; it needs repeatable quality controls.
  • I wanted one process I could reuse across different tasks and capable AI models.

The system

  • Defines the objective, audience, constraints, and controlling sources before drafting.
  • Separates facts, assumptions, hypotheses, and recommendations.
  • Challenges the first approach and looks for stronger alternatives or disconfirming evidence.
  • Verifies important claims and tests deliverables when practical.
  • Runs a final multi-pass QA before output is treated as ready.

What it demonstrates: AI governance · Prompt architecture · Requirements management · Adversarial review · Quality assurance

Current status

In active use across Engineering My Best Life. I refine it when recurring failures or ambiguities expose a better control.

Cross-Model Review Workflow

The problem

  • One AI can miss something while sounding confident.
  • Asking two models is not independent review if I just choose the answer I prefer.
  • For high-value work, disagreement is useful evidence that something still needs to be resolved.

The system

  • Uses ChatGPT and Claude as separate reviewers against the same rules and evidence.
  • Uses each model to challenge assumptions, find gaps, test logic, and critique implementation.
  • Compares conclusions instead of averaging them.
  • Treats agreement as supporting evidence—not proof.
  • Uses disagreement to identify what needs more verification or a different approach.

What it demonstrates: AI evaluation · Comparative analysis · Workflow design · Validation · Critical thinking

Current status

In active use while I test whether one model is stronger overall or whether each is better for specific kinds of work.

A living portfolio

I add a system when it is ready to explain, use, and defend—and keep refining it when real use exposes a weakness.
