Hi, I’m Adrian — a computer science PhD who decided that successfully selling an AI company wasn’t enough of a midlife crisis. So naturally, I’m now a quant trader attempting to turn Python code and probability theory into market-beating returns.

(My therapist calls it “an exercise in productive self-sabotage”)

Watch me turn $25K and Python code into either a hedge fund origin story...or a masterclass in optimizing dumpster fires.

Instead of following conventional wisdom and buying index funds, I’m attempting to beat the market with algorithms and $25,000 of my own money. Every trade, balance sheet, and questionable decision — documented in real-time with complete transparency.
